Evaluating the implementation of virtual Goal Management Training among Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with changes in cognitive functioning across multiple domains that negatively affect Veterans' ability to engage in functional activities. Goal Management Training (GMT), a cognitive remediation strategy that aims to improve cognitive functioning of people with several neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions, was adapted to an online telemedicine format for use in the treatment of Veteran clients of an operational stress injury (OSI) clinic in Québec City, Québec, Canada, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of online GMT to determine its feasibility and effectiveness with OSI clients. Methods: The authors conducted and thematically analyzed two structured virtual focus groups with 11 OSI clinicians. Focus groups were recorded, and transcripts were thematically analyzed. Results: Clinicians reported that the cognitive strategies provided by GMT helped to improve functioning among some Veterans referred to the groups. Participation in GMT was also felt to have an overall positive effect on participants' affect and morale. Adaptations to fit both the online format and the needs of Veteran participants appeared key to maximizing effectiveness of the GMT program. Discussion: Adapting GMT to an online setting may assist in expanding accessibility of this cognitive remediation program to Veterans who could not otherwise benefit from this therapy in person. Moving forward, OSI clinics may want to consider implementing both in-person and online GMT groups to expand GMT uptake and improve clinical outcomes.
