Article in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Emerging adulthood is a developmental stage with an increased vulnerability to mental disorders. Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is highly prevalent anxiety disorder especially among adolescents and young adults. Furthermore, SAD is highly comorbid with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of SAD, life-time traumatic experiences and PTSD among Lithuanian young adults studying at the Universities. We also aimed to search for associations between social anxiety, traumatic experiences, and posttraumatic stress in our sample. In total 590 young adults (67.7% female), aged 20 years on average and studying at the Universities in Lithuania were recruited for this study. Self-report measures were used to measure SAD and PTSD. SAD was measured using the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), and PTSD was measured using the Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R). SAD prevalence based on SPIN cut-off >26 in our sample was 15.3%, life-time trauma exposure was 67.5%. No association between accumulative trauma exposure and SAD was found. SAD symptoms were highly correlated with PTSD symptoms. Comorbidity between SAD and PTSD was high, with 32.2% cases of PTSD in SAD group. We found high comorbidity between SAD and PTSD in our study among young adults. Further studies are needed to explore development of SAD and PTSD in longitudinal studies.
