From loss to disorder: The influence of maladaptive coping on prolonged grief.
Article in Psychiatry research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Research indicates that post-bereavement coping strategies can be adaptive or maladaptive. Understanding which strategies lead to poorer outcomes is an important clinical and theoretical question with the potential to guide intervention. The Oxford Grief - Coping Strategies scale was developed from interviews with bereaved people with and without prolonged grief disorder (PGD) to assess the frequency of maladaptive cognitive and behavioural strategies after bereavement. Factorial and psychometric validity were assessed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (N = 676). A three-wave cross-lagged panel model (N = 275) was used to assess the predictive validity of the tool in explaining symptoms of PGD. Results supported a four-factor solution (Avoidance, Proximity Seeking, Loss Rumination, Injustice Rumination) with good psychometric properties. The OG-CS predicted prospective symptoms of PGD in the short-term (6-12 months) and long term (12-18 months), controlling for baseline symptoms and autocorrelations. Subscale analyses demonstrated that the use of coping strategies predicted ICD-11 PGD in both the short-term and the long-term. However, avoidance was not predictive of outcomes early in the grieving process. At 6-12 months, avoidance predicted PGD at 12-18 months.
