The Trauma PORTAL-A Blended e-Health Intervention for Survivors of Childhood Interpersonal Trauma: An Open-Label Pilot Study.
Article in Telemedicine reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Adults with mental health symptoms stemming from childhood interpersonal trauma require specialized trauma-focused psychological interventions. Limitations in accessing treatment interventions for this population necessitate innovative solutions. This study explored the feasibility of a protocol for a blended e-health psychoeducational treatment intervention for this population called the Trauma PORTAL (Providing Online tRauma Therapy using an Asynchronous Learning platform), combining asynchronous online modules and weekly live virtual group sessions. Method: From October 2021 to February 2022, this prospective, single-arm study recruited participants who were waitlisted for trauma therapy at an academic hospital. The primary outcome was protocol feasibility, including recruitment, adoption, and intervention acceptability. Secondary outcomes were pre- and post-intervention post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 [PCL-5]), depression/anxiety/stress (Depression and Anxiety Stress Scale [DASS-21]), and emotion regulation (Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale [DERS-18]), which were compared using paired Results: A total of 66 participants (median age = 37, female = 61) were enrolled, and they completed on average 53.5% of the online modules. There were 51 (77%) participants who completed post-intervention questionnaires. Acceptability was very high, with 49 respondents (98%) reporting that the intervention increased their access to health care. There were reductions from pre- to post-intervention on the PCL-5 (49.1 vs. 36.7, MD -12.4, 95% CI 8.3-16.5), DERS-18 (51.8 vs. 48.8, MD -3.3, 95% CI 0.2-6.4), and DASS-21 (60.1 vs. 50.7, MD -9.4, 95% CI 2.3-16.6). Conclusion: The Trauma PORTAL intervention was feasible to implement, well-adopted, and highly acceptable in an ambulatory trauma therapy program. The findings show promising evidence for symptom reduction. Further evaluation of the Trauma PORTAL's efficacy in a randomized trial is warranted.
