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: Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) was recently included as a disorder in the ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR. Although both classification systems use the same name, the criteria content, and diagnostic approach vary. This study aimed to estimate the respective prevalence of PGD Methods: A representative sample of the German general population (N = 2,509) was investigated, of which n=1,071 reported the loss of a close person. PGD symptoms were assessed with the Traumatic Grief Inventory - Self Report Plus (TGI-SR+). Results: The point prevalence of PGD among the bereaved varied between 4.7%-6.8%, depending on the criteria and diagnostic algorithm. The prevalence of PGD Conclusion: The results demonstrate that the prevalence of PGD significantly varies depending on the application of the diagnostic algorithm and criteria. PGD affects a substantial proportion of the general population and should be addressed by healthcare providers. However, applying the minimum ICD-11 criteria could lead overestimating the prevalence. Therefore, further harmonizing the ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR criteria and diagnostic algorithm for PGD seems appropriate.
