Physical activity promotion in women with PTSD: What we need for progress.
Article in Psychology of sport and exercise, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02295995 (Exercise as an Adjuvant Therapy for Veterans With PTSD), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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
objectivesResearchers explore considerations for studying exercise promotion in women with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
designResearchers evaluated current studies on exercise promotion and PTSD.
methodPresents critical reflections on (1) the underrepresentation of women in health promotion and PTSD research, and (2) the impact women's trauma histories may have on exercise behavior.
resultsThe underrepresentation of women in exercise trials leaves unanswered questions as to the generalizability of findings in women. Feasibility and acceptability of these programs among women with PTSD remains untested. Preliminary data indicate unique considerations may exist across the design and implementation domains.
conclusionsIncreased studies examining population-specific considerations for women with PTSD are needed.
