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 current study focused on kindergarten children's coping strategies after trauma and PTSD resulting from exposure to emergency situations during the summer of 2014, when their town was under continuous missile attacks, in the south west part of Israel near the Gaza Strip. The study explored children's trauma by interviewing 150 kindergarten children (ages 4-6). We sought to present the children's voice and understand their point of view, their subjective experiences, and their ways of coping with traumatic situations. The interviews revealed that during and following the period of continuous missile attacks, the participants experienced fear and panic caused mainly by the strong and surprising noise of the alarm sirens, as well as difficulty sleeping. Engaging in activities, such as racing to and playing in the shelter, helped them cope with the fear. Furthermore, the presence of caregiving adults who provided calming information and emotional support helped the children's ability to cope with their anxiety.
