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

As science continues to advance, many psychotherapeutic approaches have updated their theories and practices accordingly. However, existentialism has remained ambivalent to these developments, leading it to appear less effective, rigorous, or valid, despite ample evidence to the contrary. The purpose of this article is twofold. First, it is an invitation for natural-scientifically trained psychologists and psychotherapists to recognize the substantive benefits of grounding their thinking and practice in human-scientific philosophical reflection. Second, to encourage existentially oriented psychologists and psychotherapists to appreciate the added value of natural-scientific perspectives, particularly those that focus on the body and the brain. In short, the overriding aim is to contribute to a more unified epistemological discourse across the disciplines devoted to studying and caring for human beings.
