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

backgroundLittle is known about the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in emerging adults living with HIV in low-income countries.

aimsDetermine prevalence of trauma exposure, prevalence of probable PTSD and conditional prevalence of probable PTSD for different traumatic events; and better understand the experiences of individuals with HIV and PTSD.

methodThis mixed method study used secondary data from a cross-sectional survey of people (

resultsIn all, 68.3% [95% CI (61.4-74.1)] of participants reported exposure to at least one traumatic event. The observed prevalence of probable PTSD was 8.6% [95% CI (5.2-13.0)], most observed following exposure to fire or explosion 29.0% [95% CI (13.0-45.0)] and sexual assault 27.8% [95% CI (7.2-48.7)]. Probable PTSD was also more prevalent following multiple exposure to trauma; four and six events,

conclusionsDespite trauma exposure being common, prevalence of probable PTSD was not high, but was higher in those with multiple exposures. Participants described coping strategies, including social support and religious thinking.
