Reciprocal processes in trauma and coping: Bidirectional effects over a four-year period.
Article in Psychological trauma : theory, research, practice and policy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveBoth trauma exposure and coping are strong predictors of mental health outcomes. There is evidence that trauma and coping are linked, with cross-sectional work suggesting that individuals with more trauma exposure show poorer coping ability (i.e., more avoidance coping, less approach coping). To date, no study has examined the temporal directionality of this association, a question with important clinical implications.
methodUsing a longitudinal data set over 4 years of college (
resultsThe between-person effects were consistent with the cross-sectional literature. Interestingly, rather than an increase in avoidance coping and trauma exposure over time, the within-person findings suggested an adaptive cycle over time, in which increased trauma exposure marginally predicted an increase in approach coping (
conclusionsOur study sheds new light on how coping and stressful events may impact one another across time. Findings suggest that a focus on approach-based coping skills may be an important direction for prevention efforts. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
