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
objectiveMilitary sexual trauma (MST), childhood trauma, and combat trauma are prevalent among U.S. military personnel. Cumulative trauma exposure may hinder posttraumatic growth, a positive psychological change following traumatic events, while social support can facilitate this growth. Understanding the influence of these traumas and social support on longitudinal posttraumatic growth is crucial.
methodWe assessed 1,230 veterans at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months postinitial survey. Latent class analysis identified trauma experience classes, and latent growth models examined posttraumatic growth trajectories, incorporating social support as a time-varying covariate.
resultsThe latent class analysis revealed four classes: high trauma exposure, moderate childhood trauma-moderate combat trauma, high MST-moderate combat trauma, and combat trauma only. Veterans in the
conclusionsSocial support significantly predicted posttraumatic growth, with varying impacts across trauma classes. Interventions could be vital for survivors of MST, childhood trauma, or compounded traumas to enhance posttraumatic growth among military veterans.
