Psychotherapeutic Competencies in Blended Care Psychotherapy: Development of a Competence Framework.
Article in JMIR mental 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
Background: Blended care psychotherapy (BCP) combines face-to-face psychotherapy with digital interventions, such as videoconferencing, apps, or virtual reality, which can be incorporated in various ways and at different stages of the therapeutic process. Despite its increasing implementation, conceptual and terminological inconsistencies continue to impede a shared understanding of the competencies required for its effective delivery. Objective: This theoretical paper introduces a framework of psychotherapeutic competencies in BCP, designed to provide conceptual clarity. Methods: The framework was developed in four steps. (1) An exploratory literature search was conducted to identify existing competence and educational frameworks relevant to psychotherapy, digitalization, and educational psychology. (2) These models informed a preliminary theoretical framework. (3) This preliminary framework was critically reviewed and refined in an expert workshop with 5 licensed psychotherapists and researchers experienced in BCP. (4) Lastly, findings from a systematic review of 35 studies on BCP competencies were integrated, resulting in the final 8-domain framework. Results: The resulting framework comprises Conclusions: This conceptual contribution aims to strengthen the theoretical foundation of BCP, support competence-based education for psychotherapists, and guide future research toward the empirical validation and refinement of BCP-specific competencies.
