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

This study aims to investigate the relationships of personality and social support with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after traffic accidents.The 90 Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) were completed 1 week after trauma. The Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) was surveyed 3 months after discharge.PCL-C score of 38 was used as cutoff point. The older age and lower education significantly increased the PTSD incidence. SCL-90 score was positively correlated with PTSD symptom score. The psychoticism (P) (0.230) and neuroticism (N) (0.302) was positively correlated with PTSD symptom score in a linear relationship. Objective support, subjective support, exploitation degree, and social support were negatively associated with PTSD scores. Force symptoms, psychoticism, subjective support, introversion, and extroversion could explain 65.0% of degree of variation for PTSD with the estimated standard error of 4.758.PTSD associated social factors include force symptoms, psychoticism, subjective support, introversion, and extroversion.
