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

Increasing attention has been focused on suicidal behavior among military personnel. Exposure to deployment-related traumatic events (DRTEs) and child abuse (CA) both have been associated with mental disorders and suicidal behaviors among military personnel. Thus, the primary objectives of this study were to examine (a) sex differences in CA history and DRTEs, past-year mental disorders, and past-year suicide-related outcomes and (b) independent, cumulative, and interactive effects of CA history and DRTEs on past-year mental disorders and suicide outcomes among Canadian military personnel. Data were from the representative Canadian Forces Mental Health Survey collected in 2013 (N = 8,161; response rate = 79.8%). The results indicated a high prevalence of trauma exposure, with sex differences noted for specific trauma types. Both CA history and DRTEs were strongly associated with mental disorders, CA history: aORs = 1.60-2.44; DRTEs; aORs = 1.67-3.88. Cumulative, but not interactive, effects were noted for the effects of CA history and DRTEs on most mental disorders. Associations between CA history and DRTEs on suicide outcomes were largely indirect via their impact on mental disorders. Information regarding the role of specific types of predeployment trauma on mental disorders and suicidal behavior can be used to develop more targeted prevention and intervention strategies aimed at improving the mental health of military personnel.
