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
objectiveFour symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTSS: intrusion, avoidance, alterations in arousal and reactivity, and negative alterations in cognitions and mood) were put forth by the
methodAdult patients with colorectal cancer (
resultsConfirmatory factor analysis revealed good fit of the four-symptom model of PTSS for caregivers at all three times and for patients at T2. Factor loadings of the four symptoms were high, ranging from .47-.97 and .62-.96 among patients and caregivers, respectively.
conclusionsFindings extend the application of the four posttraumatic stress symptoms to patients with chronic major medical illness (cancer) and their family caregivers. Assessment and treatment of subclinical, yet substantial psychological distress precipitated by major medical illness like cancer are warranted.
