1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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.

Indexed as

Network analysisPTSDsystematic review• This is the first preregistered systematic review of network analysis of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSD).• There is considerable heterogeneity in the current cross-sectional network studies of posttraumatic stress symptoms.• Future investigations of PTSD from a network perspective should aim to explain this heterogeneity, conduct intensive longitudinal studies of PTSD, and develop a network theoretical account of PTSD.
