Article in European journal of psychotraumatology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04251624 (A Randomized Control Trial Examining the Treatment Efficacy of a Novel Approach to Cognitive Remediation in Public Safety Personnel With Post-traumatic Stress Disorder), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Indexed as

derealizationdissociative subtypefirst respondersFunctional impairmentmilitary members• Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is associated with reduced day-to-day functioning across multiple important life domains, including interpersonal relationships and occupational or educational roles.• This pattern is apparent among military members, veterans, and first responders with PTSD.• This study aimed to gain a better understanding of the symptoms associated with this reduced functioning.• The results of the study indicate that symptoms of dissociation, particularly derealization (feeling as though things around you are unreal or unfamiliar), accounts for the relation between PTSD symptoms and impairment in day-to-day functioning• This work is important in improving both symptom and functional recovery from PTSD among military members and first responders.PTSDveterans
