Examining well-being in posttraumatic stress disorder treatment: An explorative study.
Article in Journal of traumatic stress, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Although the importance of well-being in mental health is widely acknowledged, well-being as a predictor of and outcome in the treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has received little attention. This naturalistic study aimed to investigate well-being in the context of care-as-usual treatment for PTSD. Patients with PTSD attending a community mental health center (N = 318) completed measures of well-being and PTSD symptoms before and after symptom-focused treatment. Following treatment, well-being increased among patients with PTSD, with emotional, d = -0.25, and psychological well-being, d = -0.24, showing the largest improvements relative to social well-being, d = -0.15. Although levels of well-being improved overall within the sample, participant scores on measures of well-being remained low compared with the general population. Well-being predicted treatment efficiency such that participants with more severe PTSD symptoms benefitted more from care-as-usual treatment when they reported relatively high levels of well-being at the start of treatment. The findings suggest a benefit to including well-being as a pretreatment and outcome variable when evaluating PTSD treatments.
