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.

Abstract
Background: In Nigeria, the rising prevalence of kidnapping incidents has led to significant psychological impacts on victims. This study explores the biopsychosocial consequences of kidnapping-induced post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in an elderly Nigerian woman and assesses the efficacy of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) as a therapeutic intervention. Objectives: To examine the psychological aftermath of kidnapping through a biopsychosocial lens and evaluate the outcomes of CPT in treating PTSD symptoms in a 65-year-old Nigerian woman. Methods: An elderly Nigerian woman who experienced a kidnapping event, was assessed for PTSD using the Acute Stress Disorder Scale and PTSD Checklist (PCL). She underwent six sessions of CPT, and her progress was evaluated using the PCL, Brief Resilience Scale and Spirituality Self-Rating Scale. Results: The patient initially exhibited severe PTSD and acute stress disorder. After the intervention, her PTSD symptoms significantly reduced from severe to moderate levels. Additionally, her resilience and spirituality scores increased, indicating an overall improvement in her psychological state. Conclusion: The case highlights the significant psychological impact of kidnapping and effectiveness of CPT in reducing PTSD symptoms. The findings underscore the importance of incorporating resilience and spirituality into holistic treatment strategies for managing the psychological effects of traumatic experiences like kidnapping.
