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

backgroundThe prevalence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has been rising since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and affects females, sexual and gender minorities, and individuals with social risks at higher rates.

objectiveThis study examines if the prevalence of PTSD increased from 2019 to 2022 among patients who received care in a national network of safety-net, community-based health centers with integrated behavioral health programs that serve patients at high risk for PTSD.

methodsWe analyzed electronic health record data from patients with 1 or more behavioral health visits during 2019 to 2022 using repeated cross-sectional data to visualize trends. Change in PTSD prevalence based on the diagnoses associated with each visit from 2019 to 2022 was assessed using a general linear mixed model adjusted for patient-level factors.

resultsOver 4 years, 182 419 distinct patients received care for PTSD, with prevalence increasing from 2019 to 2022 (OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.08, 1.10). Females (OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.78, 1.84), LGBTQIA individuals (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.26, 1.33), gender diverse individuals (OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.29, 1.42), and patients who reported 1 or more social determinants of health needs (OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.46, 1.57) were more likely to have a diagnosis of PTSD.

conclusionsIn a worrying trend, PTSD prevalence has increased among people receiving integrated behavioral health care at community-based health centers, with disparities observed in subpopulations. Continued effort and investment are needed to meet this increasing need in safety-net settings, particularly for those subpopulations observed to have higher prevalence.
