Similar PTSD symptom networks observed in male and female survivors of military sexual assault: implications for understanding trauma responses.

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
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a heterogeneous disorder with no universal symptom presentation. Sex differences in rates of PTSD among military samples are established, such that females are more likely to be diagnosed with PTSD, with severity particularly heightened among females exposed to military sexual assault (MSA). However, limited research has examined the PTSD symptom network structure among MSA survivors and whether it differs by sex. The current study examined global and sex-specific PTSD symptom network structure of PTSD among veterans and service members who were exposed to MSA. Participants were 400 service members/veterans (54% active duty; 50% male) with a history of MSA exposure recruited through Qualtrics. Participants completed an online survey assessing PTSD symptoms. Network analysis was conducted for the full sample to examine the overall symptom structure. Centrality indices revealed apathy to be the most central symptom, followed by irritability, hyperarousal, hypervigilance, and external avoidance. The Network Comparison Test was utilized to examine potential sex differences in network structure and global strength. There were no sex differences in global structure or network strength. Core symptom network structures of PTSD may be similar for males and females following MSA. Though males and females experience notable differences in PTSD, network structure is not among them. Central symptoms, or the potential treatment targets, could be similar for males and females MSA survivors.
