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

Background and objectives: A rise in prolonged grief disorder (PGD) levels was expected due to COVID-19 deaths. We tested this assumption, by comparing PGD-severity among people who experienced a death of a loved one during the pandemic caused by a natural (e.g., illness), COVID-19, or unnatural (e.g., accidents, suicides, homicides) loss on average 8 months earlier and in a subgroup of people bereaved ≥12 months earlier. Design and methods: Self-rated DSM-5-TR (acute) PGD levels (using the Traumatic Grief Inventory-Self Report plus) were compared among Dutch adults who experienced a natural ( Results: About two-thirds of the participants scored above the cut-off for (acute) probable PGD. Significantly higher acute PGD-severity was found in people after unnatural loss compared with COVID-19 ( Conclusions: We found that acute PGD-severity was significantly higher following unnatural deaths than after COVID-19 deaths or natural causes, but no differences were found for people who experienced a loss ≥12 months earlier.
