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

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disabling psychiatric disorder that can result from experiencing a traumatic event. While a single index trauma can result in PTSD, patients often have additional traumatic events over the course of their lives. Despite this, little research to date has focused on prevention of PTSD recurrence following a novel traumatic experience. We present three cases of individuals with chronic PTSD who experienced an additional traumatic experience during treatment with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) at VA Providence. Despite expectations to the contrary, TMS appeared to prevent a recurrence or worsening of their PTSD symptoms. We discuss possible neurobiological explanations for these outcomes and implications for possible use of TMS to prevent PTSD following trauma.
