Efficacy of an internet-based guided trauma-focused intervention in reducing ICD-11 posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms: study protocol of a randomized controlled trial.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06475716 (Efficacy of a Guided Internet-based Trauma-focused CBT Intervention 'Spring' for ICD-11 Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundPosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common mental disorder. However, many cases of PTSD remain untreated because of limited healthcare resources and other treatment-seeking barriers. Effective internet-based interventions could help to improve access to PTSD treatments. Therefore, the main objective of the planned randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the Lithuanian version of the guided internet-based self-help programme (Spring) in reducing ICD-11 PTSD symptoms.
methodsThe planned sample size is 50 participants exposed to different traumatic experiences. Participants eligible for the study will be randomized into two study groups: the immediate treatment group and the delayed treatment control group. Both groups will receive guided trauma-focused ICBT intervention, but the delayed treatment group will receive access to the programme five months after randomization. The International Trauma Interview (ITI) will be used for the assessment of ICD-11 PTSD symptoms at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and at a 3-month follow-up. Changes in disturbances in self-organization, depression and anxiety levels, as well as posttraumatic cognitions and trauma-related shame, will also be evaluated. In addition, associations between changes in symptoms of PTSD and readiness for treatment, treatment expectations and working alliance will be explored. Changes in treatment outcomes will be evaluated using multiple Latent Change Models. DISCUSSION: This study is expected to contribute to valuable knowledge on the efficacy of internet-based interventions for posttraumatic stress disorder.
