Figure 11 is titled “Mean change from baseline in CAPS for CBT-mixed interventions compared with inactive comparators.” The figure displays a forest plot reporting the standardized mean difference, CBT-mixed versus inactive comparators. This figure is described further in the “PTSD Symptoms” section as follows: “Our meta-analysis (Figure 11) found greater decreases in CAPS-rated PTSD symptoms for CBT-M interventions than for inactive controls (SMD, −1.24; 95% CI, −1.67 to −0.81; 11 trials, N=709; high SOE). Statistical heterogeneity was substantial (I2= 85.4%).”
