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

The network approach to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has rapidly developed in recent years, driven by a growing number of empirical studies employing psychometric network analyses to investigate the structure of associations among PTSD symptoms. In this paper, we provide an overview of network psychometrics and consider the role of these analyses within the network approach to PTSD. Adopting a recently proposed workflow for conducting network psychometric analyses, we identify and address issues that researchers using network psychometrics to study PTSD are likely to confront. We conclude with a consideration of work beyond network psychometrics that will be critical in translating the growing body of empirical network studies into meaningful advances in the field's understanding of the causal systems underlying PTSD.
