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

Internet-based cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) is now a well-established treatment modality supported by numerous controlled trials. Platforms for delivering these interventions have become critical infrastructure for both research and clinical practice, yet platform descriptions remain rare in the literature. In this article, we provide an updated description of the Iterapi platform, originally reported by Vlaescu et al., 2016. Over the past decade, Iterapi has been used in more than 100 published research studies, spanning over 35 clinical conditions (including depression, anxiety disorders, insomnia, tinnitus, loneliness, and climate anxiety) across at least 20 countries on five continents. We describe the platform's core architecture and functionality, including treatment modules, questionnaire systems, communication tools, and automation features. We also report on significant developments since 2016, including enhanced security and regulatory compliance (GDPR, data protection impact assessments), new features for ecological momentary assessment, electronic identification and incorporation of artificial intelligence. Finally, we outline future directions including mobile application development, digital phenotyping, just-in-time adaptive interventions, and the role of emerging regulatory frameworks. This update is intended as a practical resource for researchers and clinicians considering platform-based delivery of internet interventions.
