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

The current study examined the mediating role of anxiety sensitivity in regard to the relation between avoidant coping and posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms among trauma-exposed persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA). Participants included 103 PLHA (18.4% female, Mage = 48.33, SD = 9.34). Results indicated significant positive indirect effects for avoidant coping through anxiety sensitivity on overall PTS symptoms (point estimate = .27, PB 95% CI [.01, .65]), PTS hyperarousal symptoms (point estimate = .09, PB 95% CI [.01, .21]), and PTS avoidant symptoms (point estimate = .14, PB 95% CI [.03, .30]). The observed findings were statistically significant and evident above and beyond the variance accounted for by CD4 cell count, race, sex, recruitment site, and lifetime number of traumatic events experienced. The results may indicate that avoidant coping affects PTS symptoms through anxiety sensitivity among trauma-exposed PLHA. These findings highlight the importance of anxiety sensitivity in relation to PTS symptoms among PLHA, and the possibility of adapting anxiety sensitivity reduction training for PTS symptoms among PLHA.
