The Thought Induction Psychotherapy Technique's Clinical Effectiveness in Treating Adolescent Depression and Anxiety: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Psychiatry investigation, 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
objectiveWe evaluated the clinical effectiveness of low resistance state thought induction psychotherapy (TIP) in treating adolescent depression and anxiety.
methodsThis study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2600119490). One hundred adolescent patients with depression and anxiety admitted to hospital between January 2022 and December 2023 was randomly divided into a control and an experimental group, with 50 cases in each group. The control group received routine pharmacotherapy alone, while the experimental group received TIP technique as an add-on intervention based on the same pharmacotherapy with a treatment course of 3 months. Anxiety scores, electrocardiogram (ECG), liver and kidney function, and hematological parameters were compared between groups at each post-treatment time point. Analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis H, and Mann-Whitney tests were used for analysis.
resultsAfter treatment, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale scores in the experimental group were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group at 2 and 3 months post-treatment (p<0.017). The incidence of abnormal ECG in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p=0.017). All the indicators of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group. Hemoglobin and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 3 months (p<0.017).
conclusionTIP as an add-on intervention can significantly reduce the incidence of abnormal ECGs and the damage to liver and kidney function, alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety in adolescent patients.
