Voluntary Age Regression Entering "Headspace" in a Child With Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the use of coping mechanisms seems to correlate with higher levels of resiliency; however, in the age of the internet, patients may find it easier to discover new unhealthy skills that can hinder their treatment and further progress their symptoms. This report describes the case of a 12-year-old female with PTSD who was admitted for suicidal ideation and who presented with age regression that was voluntary in nature, characterized by reverting to the age of a six-year-old girl while her boyfriend took on a parental role for her. These behaviors were learned through her use of social media. This case demonstrates the use of maladaptive behaviors to cope with their trauma and the need for parental supervision on the use of the internet and social media by the younger population.
