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
objectivePosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with criminal justice involvement in veterans, but it is unclear how trauma type influences this relationship. The present study examines the impact of combat trauma on the severity and course of PTSD and the relationship with criminogenic needs in justice-involved veterans.
methodWe conducted secondary analysis of data from 287 veterans with a criminal history admitted to mental health residential treatment. Participants completed interviews to assess PTSD symptom severity, criminal history, and criminogenic needs at the start of treatment and at 6 and 12 months. Bivariate analyses were conducted to determine differences between veterans with and without combat trauma on PTSD severity, criminal history, and criminogenic needs. Mixed-effect models were evaluated to assess changes in PTSD symptom severity over time based on trauma type.
resultsAt baseline, veterans with combat-related trauma (
conclusionsThe findings illustrate the need to consider trauma type in future research on the relationship between PTSD and justice involvement in veterans. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
