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: Persons with hemophilia may encounter various traumatic experiences related to their bleeding disorder throughout their lifetime. Little is known about the clinical impact of disease-related trauma on this population. Objectives: To explore the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and posttraumatic stress symptoms in adults with hemophilia A and B and characterize the traumatic experiences they report. Methods: An online survey tool collecting data on participant characteristics and a validated questionnaire containing the PTSD checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 were distributed via Research Electronic Data Capture to adults with hemophilia A and B during their annual visit to their hemophilia treatment center. Participants were asked about traumatic experiences specific to their hemophilia prior to self-administering the PTSD checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 questionnaire. Results: Survey responses from 178 individuals across 3 hemophilia treatment centers were included in the analysis, representing a 70% response rate. One hundred one (56.7%) participants identified a hemophilia-related traumatic event, and 21 (11.8%) participants met criteria for a provisional diagnosis of PTSD. Multivariable analysis showed higher odds of a positive PTSD screen in participants with noninfectious (odds ratio [OR], 13.89; 95% CI, 2.23-86.62) and infectious comorbidities (OR, 11.18; 95% CI, 1.34-93.45) and in participants with >1 mental health comorbidity (OR, 10.07; 95% CI, 2.39-42.52). On the contrary, age >46 years (OR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.01-0.62) and higher education (OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.07-0.88) reduced odds of PTSD. Conclusion: Persons with hemophilia are at risk of developing PTSD and posttraumatic stress symptoms. These data support the need for trauma screening, psychosocial services in the bleeding disorders community, and provision of trauma-informed care by providers.
