Figure 6 is titled “Standardized mean change in depressive symptoms (measured by the Beck Depression Inventory) for CPT compared with inactive controls.” The figure displays a forest plot reporting standardized mean difference in depressive symptoms (measured by the Beck Depression Inventory), CPT versus inactive controls. This figure is described further in the “Prevention or reduction of comorbid medical or psychiatric conditions” section as follows: “Our meta-analysis of the five CPT trials reporting BDI or BDI-II scores (Figure 6) found greater improvement in depression symptoms for subjects treated with CPT than for those in inactive comparison groups (SMD, −1.09; 95% CI, −1.52 to −0.65, I2=75.0, 5 studies, N=399, moderate SOE).”
