1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The integration of the Internet into clinical practice has facilitated the implementation of digital mental health interventions, including eTherapy. In this context, the present study examined factors associated with Therapist Self-Efficacy during synchronous video-based eTherapy, specifically focusing on Self-Esteem, General Self-Efficacy, and Insight Orientation while controlling for Years of Clinical Practice. A sample of 290 mental health professionals (39% psychologists; 61% psychotherapists) completed a survey including the Therapist Self-Efficacy Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Insight Orientation Scale. A path analysis was performed to analyse the collected data. Results showed a significant total mediation model. Specifically, significant and positive total effects in the relationships of Self-Esteem and General Self-Efficacy with Professional Self-Efficacy emerged. Furthermore, Insight Orientation fully mediated these associations. Years of Clinical Practice was not significantly associated with Therapist Self-Efficacy. These findings may inform the development of tailored eTherapy training for mental health professionals.
