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

backgroundThis paper is a narrative review of the implementation trajectories Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in five countries, the UK, Germany Norway, Poland, and the Czech Republic in Europe over the past 30 years. The aim of this comparison is to identify common and divergent systems levels facilitators and hindrances of DBT implementation.

methodsDBT experts in each respective country were asked to provide a narrative account of their country's implementation journey. Histories were then considered in accordance with existing DBT implementation frameworks.

resultsCommon themes emerged such as the importance national guidelines on evidence-based treatment shape implementation, university affiliations promote dissemination, implementation and research activities, national societies help to create standards.

conclusionThere are common DBT implementation trajectories that exist across geography and nationally specific mental health care systems. The discussion of the refining of national DBT practices based on emerging literature and the importance of outcomes of implementation such as therapists' behaviour or client related outcome data adds to existing information.
