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
This commentary examines the application of Bonanno and Westphal's (2024) three axioms of resilience to military contexts. Drawing on international research, we evaluate evidence supporting the three propositions: resilience is the predominant outcome following trauma exposure, multiple factors contribute modestly to resilience, and resilience emerges from flexible self-regulation. We demonstrate how these axioms manifest in military populations, who face unique operational stressors with, at times, limited access to conventional coping resources. We propose methodological approaches for measuring resilience longitudinally across individual and organizational domains and discuss implications for military training that focuses on developing diverse coping strategies rather than bolstering single traits. The commentary emphasises the value of a data-driven approach wherein military personnel act as their own scientists, systematically evaluating whether a coping strategy is working and adapting accordingly. We highlight the critical interdependence between individual and organizational resilience in maintaining mental health among military personnel who face repeated trauma exposure.
