Only 1 patient had a score improvement for 'Guilt'. Likewise, does than mean no one else experienced feelings of guilt or just did not improve or get worse on that score?

The test consists of 20 questions rated by the interviewer on a scale of either 0-2 or 0-4 depending on the nature of the question.

One must assume all 20 questions were rated for all patients (n=25?) apparently to be repeated weekly. Or was only the questions related to slide 33 examined on some notion that these would be the only questions of interest?

We just cannot tell from the data. How was the before and after scoring done to determine improvements or not? E.g. was the criteria for inclusion in slide 33 simply only improvements, while ignoring the 11 other questions the answer to which would have been same or worse?

Was it the first of each scoring session subtracted from the last or was the difference in before and after score somehow worked out across multiple weekly interviews?

I would assume that only the 9 of 20 questions on slide 33 had improvements. The others same or worse.

Hard to say how significant these result are, but at a non-critical glance it looks convincing, at least for insomnia.
