Barriers to and facilitators of measurement-based care in posttraumatic stress disorder treatment: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of military, veteran and family health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Measurement-based care (MBC) involves routine monitoring of patient-reported outcomes to inform clinical decision-making. Despite evidence demonstrating its effectiveness in the treatment of patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other psychiatric conditions, it remains underutilized in clinical settings. This review aimed to identify the barriers to and facilitators of the use of MBC in patients with PTSD. Methods: We conducted a systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, including articles that examined barriers to and facilitators of the use of MBC in patients with PTSD. Facilitators and barriers were defined as any factors that impacted the implementation, uptake, or use of MBC. The search was conducted in December 2024 in four databases. Results: Our search identified 6,036 unique articles, of which 15 met the inclusion criteria. All 15 articles were published in the United States, and 11 studied Veteran populations. Barriers to and facilitators of MBC in PTSD varied widely between studies; commonly identified barriers included irregular completion of outcome measures, technological challenges, and poor patient understanding of MBC purpose and results. Facilitators included technological accessibility to patients and clinicians, patient consultation on the selection of outcome measures, and use of frameworks to guide implementation. Discussion: This review identified a limited number of studies examining barriers to and facilitators of MBC use and implementation for PTSD, highlighting gaps in the literature. Implementation studies are needed to explore context-specific barriers and facilitators, providing a more comprehensive understanding of MBC in PTSD care.
