Prevalence of stressful life events and their association with post-traumatic stress disorder among youth attending secondary school in Haiti.
Article in Psychiatry research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The association between earthquakes and youth post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been well described, but little is known about the relationship between other stressful life events (SLEs) and PTSD among earthquake-affected youth. This study examines a variety of SLEs, including earthquake, and their association with PTSD among school-going Haitian youth following a major earthquake in 2010. In 2013, we assessed 120 students ages 18-22 for PTSD and other SLEs using a modified Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID)-based interview and the Stressful Life Events Checklist (SLE Checklist). Only 51.7% of participants on the SLE Checklist and 31.7% in the interview endorsed being affected by the earthquake or another disaster. Sexual assault showed the strongest association with PTSD in multivariable logistic regression. Contrary to our hypothesis, exposure to earthquake or another disaster was not significantly associated with current PTSD. In this population, exposure to interpersonal violence may have had a greater impact on PTSD risk than exposure to natural disaster. These data underscore the need to examine and reduce both acute and chronic stressors among disaster-affected youth.
