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
Following a traumatic injury, 25-57% of children will develop clinically significant post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). The cognitive model of post-traumatic stress disorder posits that PTSS develop based on the encoding of trauma memories and the individual's appraisals of the event and its sequelae. In addition, the behaviors and cognitive strategies used to cope with distress are proposed to serve as causal and maintaining factors for PTSS. The purpose of this study was to systematically review and summarize the role of psychological processing factors, including cognitive appraisals, trauma memory, and coping styles, on the development of PTSS in children following injury. Systematic searches were conducted in May 2024 for articles published at any time in PubMed, APA PsycInfo, and PTSDpubs databases. Included articles analyzed the association between cognitive appraisals, trauma memories, and/or coping strategies and PTSS in children (ages 5-18) who received medical treatment for a single-incident traumatic injury. Data were extracted related to study and sample characteristics, measures, and findings regarding the association between psychological processes and PTSS. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies. The titles and abstracts of 836 articles were screened, and 105 full text articles were reviewed, resulting in 34 eligible articles. Articles were rated as being of "good" (44%) or "fair" (56%) quality. Studies examined cognitive appraisals ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40653-025-00695-0.
