1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundA one-size-fits-all approach might explain why early psychological interventions are largely ineffective in preventing the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms triggered by acute medical events. We examined the hypothesis that social and health care resources are moderators of an intervention effect.

methodsWithin 48 h of hospital admission, 129 patients (mean age 58 years, 83% men) with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) self-rated their social support and were randomized to one single session of trauma-focused counseling (TFC) or stress-focused counseling (SFC) (active control intervention). Clinician-rated PTSD symptoms, use of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and use of psychotherapy were assessed at 3 and 12 months. Random mixed regression multivariable models were used to analyze associations with PTSD symptoms over time.

resultsTFC did not prevent ACS-induced PTSD symptom onset better than SFC; yet, there were significant and independent interactions between "intervention" (TFC or SFC) and social support (

conclusionsEarly psychological intervention after ACS with a trauma-focused approach to prevent the development of PTSD symptoms may be beneficial for patients who perceive high social support or participate in CR for several weeks.
