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

Although the widespread of trauma exposure, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) remains a prevalent and disabling mental disorder. Yet, access to appropriate care, particularly for individuals with more severe forms, remains limited. The expression 'severe PTSD' is widely used in clinical practice, yet no shared or psychometrically grounded definition has been established. Unlike other psychiatric disorders such as depression, validated instruments are still lacking to reliably determine the degree of severity of PTSD. Furthermore, relying solely on symptom scores may obscure key differences in functional impairment, or clinical relevance, as emphasized by the
