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

Poor social function is associated with negative health outcomes and premature mortality in older veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This pilot randomized trial evaluated a nine-session group-based intervention (Enhancing Social Function for Older Veterans with PTSD [ESVP]) to enhance social function in older veterans with PTSD compared with a support group condition. Participants were 36 U.S. military veterans aged 60 years or older who had experienced military-related trauma and endorsed symptoms of PTSD. Feasibility, acceptability, and changes in social function were assessed across baseline, postintervention, and 6-month follow-up. Enrollment and engagement metrics supported feasibility. Participant ratings of session relevance and satisfaction were high and did not significantly differ between conditions. Veterans under the ESVP condition were significantly more likely to rate themselves as feeling "better" (
