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

Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) is a distinct diagnostic entity that has recently garnered considerable attention as it describes an intense, enduring, distressing and disabling bereavement reaction experienced by a small minority of community-based mourners. In recent decades, research has exploded to address how best to treat PGD with different psychotherapeutic interventions. In this state-of-the-science review, the strength of the evidence will be discussed regarding common psychotherapeutic interventions used to treat grief. Specifically, we focus on the most commonly used interventions, cognitive behavioral (CB)-based therapies, bereavement and support groups, and brief contact interventions (BCIs), in an effort to summarize the relevant clinical takeaways of the current available research. A discussion of the use of these therapies in specific clinical populations is also included, with a focus on those traumatically bereaved, pediatric populations, communities of color, and underserved communities. Important foci and directions for future research are also discussed.
