Trauma exposure and stress-related disorders in a large, urban, predominantly African-American, female sample.
Article in Archives of women's mental health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 59 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 current study investigated the relationship between trauma exposure and psychopathology in a sample of predominately African-American women of low socioeconomic status (SES). Women (N = 7430) were recruited from medical clinics at two large public hospitals in Atlanta, GA, from 2005 to 2017. Women were assessed for sociodemographics, life-course trauma burden, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and major depressive disorder (MDD) utilizing self-report and structured clinical interview assessments. The effects of trauma exposure on current and lifetime PTSD and MDD were examined. Ninety-one percent of women reported trauma exposure, 83% reported a monthly household income of less than $2000, and 41% reported a history of arrest. Regarding psychiatric diagnoses, 30.8% met the criteria for probable MDD, and 32.3% met the criteria for probable PTSD. History of childhood abuse and total lifetime trauma significantly increased PTSD and depressive symptoms with additional incremental trauma exposure. PTSD and depressive symptom scores (95% CI) increased from 5.5 (5.0-6.1) and 8.4 (7.9-9.0) in the no trauma group to 20.8 (20.1-21.5) and 20.4 (19.7-21.2), respectively, in those exposed to four or more types of trauma. These results show high rates of adult and childhood trauma exposure, PTSD, MDD, and an additive effect of lifetime trauma exposure on the development of PTSD and MDD in a sample of low SES African-American women. These findings bring light to the high psychiatric symptom burden in this population and call for increased availability of interventions to address symptoms as well as policies aimed at reducing trauma exposure across the lifespan.
