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

Refugees often experience traumatic events and the loss of loved ones, leading to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD (cPTSD) and prolonged grief disorder (PGD). It has been repeatedly shown that comorbidity between PGD and PTSD is frequent especially after violent losses, but only few studies have investigated the relationship between PGD and cPTSD. The network approach to psychopathology is well suited to investigate associations between different symptoms. We therefore combined a traditional investigation of the probable prevalence of PGD and its comorbidity with PTSD and cPTSD in refugees and used network analysis to identify central symptoms and bridge symptoms. A total N of 92 treatment-seeking refugees who had experienced both loss and traumatic events completed a self-report measure of PGD and clinical interviews for PTSD and cPTSD. We determined the probable prevalence of PGD
