[Psychotherapy for posttraumatic stress disorder in older adults].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundIn contrast to the high demographic relevance of the older population, relatively little is known about prevalence rates, the typologies/symptom profiles and effective therapeutic approaches for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in older adults.
aimThe aim of the present article is to provide an overview of prevalence rates, typologies of PTSD and effective treatment approaches for PTSD in the elderly.
resultsCompared to younger cohorts, the group of older people has a markedly lower PTSD prevalence in the vast majority of epidemiological studies. There is a comparable structure over all age classes (i. e. classes with low, moderate and high symptoms) with respect to the symptom profile of PTSD. There are currently only a few controlled treatment studies for the cohort of older adults. The published controlled or randomized controlled interventional studies suggest that trauma-focused and narrative approaches seem to be effective in the treatment of PTSD in the elderly.
conclusionFuture research should take account of the results so far in order to verify the existing preliminary results and to deal with current limitations. Randomized controlled trials are required, which should include a heterogeneous sample of elderly people and examine different therapeutic approaches in their effectiveness and feasibility in this cohort.
