Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and Disorders in Children and Adolescents with Chronic Physical Illnesses: a Meta-Analysis.
Article in Journal of child & adolescent trauma, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
The aim of the present meta-analysis was to compare levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) in individuals with and without pediatric chronic physical illnesses, and to analyze correlates of these symptoms. In total, 150 studies were identified that provided relevant data. On average, 11.5% of the participants with pediatric chronic physical illnesses met the criteria of PTSD (Odds Ratio 2.70). PTSS were also more common in this group than in control groups without chronic physical illnesses. While the PTSS levels did not differ across physical diseases, we found positive associations of PTSS with illness severity and duration/intensity of treatment, as well as negative associations with duration of illness, time since last treatment, treatment adherence, and family functioning. We conclude that individuals with pediatric chronic physical illnesses who experienced traumatic events should be screened for PTSS and receive psychological interventions when needed.
