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
objectiveFollowing the World Trade Center (WTC) terrorist attack in New York City, prevalence rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression remain elevated. Although social support and self-efficacy have been associated with PTSD, little is known about their differential effect on PTSD and depressive comorbidity.
methodWTC tower survivors (
resultsAt Wave 4, 13.0% of participants had probable PTSD, a decrease from 16.5% at Wave 1. In addition, 4.1% (54) were identified as having PTSD alone, 6.8% (89) had depression alone, and 8.9% (116) had comorbid PTSD and depression. Of those with PTSD, 68.2% also had comorbid depression. WTC tower survivors with PTSD and comorbid depression reported greater PTSD symptom severity and were more likely to have had greater exposure to the events of 9/11 (adjusted odds ratio [a
conclusionsFindings indicate that self-efficacy may be more important to the severity and chronicity of PTSD symptoms than social support. Multivariate comparisons suggest that PTSD with comorbid depression is a presentation of trauma-dependent psychopathologies, as opposed to depression alone following trauma, which was independent of trauma exposure and may be secondary to the traumatic event and posttraumatic response. Implications for assessment and treatment are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
