Effect sizes are divided into either cognitive or symptomatic assessments and whether the assessment involved the control condition or the treatment condition. Scores indicate an effect size as calculated by Cohen’s d, which can be broadly interpreted as a small effect (d = 0.2), a medium effect (d = 0.5), or a large effect (d = 0.8). Dashes indicate the condition was not present in that study.
