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
Introduction This study examined the mental health consequences of Bangladesh's July Revolution (2024) by assessing the occurrence of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among survivors of state violence and persecution while identifying associated risk factors. Materials and methods A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2024 to February 2025 among 217 injured survivors (mean age: 26.0 ± 9.7 years; 97.2% male). Participants were assessed via face-to-face interviews using validated tools: Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) (cutoff: ≥10 for depression) and PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) (cutoff: ≥33 for PTSD). Univariate logistic regression was performed to analyze sociodemographic and clinical associations. Results Depression and PTSD were alarmingly high: 82.5% met the threshold for depression (PHQ-9 mean: 14.7 ± 5.6) and 64.1% for PTSD (PCL-5 mean: 37.6 ± 16.1). Urban survivors had significantly lower odds of depression (OR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.22-1.00) and PTSD (OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.29-0.92) than rural counterparts. Strikingly, 99.3% of PTSD cases had comorbid depression, with strong symptom correlation (r = 0.772, p < 0.001). No other sociodemographic factors (age, sex, education, occupation, and socioeconomic status) or violence type showed significant associations. Conclusions The revolution's survivors exhibited extreme mental health burdens, underscoring an urgent need for trauma-integrated care, especially in rural areas.
