Post-traumatic stress disorder in major accidents: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Revista brasileira de medicina do trabalho : publicacao oficial da Associacao Nacional de Medicina do Trabalho-ANAMT. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Major accidents are defined as accidents whose consequences spread spatially and temporally from acute events related to production activities. Exposure to these accidents has psychological impacts on individuals, including the development of mental disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify and analyze the evidence available in the literature on the relationship between exposure to major accidents and the development of posttraumatic stress disorder. To that end, a systematic literature review was conducted using the Web of Science and Google Scholar databases, followed by a meta-analysis based on the results of the selected studies. Twenty-six articles were selected, related to 14 major accidents, including 11 longitudinal and 15 cross-sectional studies. The studies were conducted from 2 months to 36 years after the major accident, comprising 24,276 participants. The methods, techniques and instruments used varied between studies. The meta-analysis indicated a prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder of 18.57% (confidence interval 13.80-23.87; I
