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

Exposure to trauma is a pervasive stressor that globally impacts millions of children and adults and can lead to severe adjustment problems. Although receiving evidence-based trauma-focused mental health treatment can effectively reduce distress associated with exposure to trauma, over half of those who schedule an intake session fail to attend, known as preintake attrition. Understanding factors that predict preintake attrition is essential for improving clinical care and triaging the allocation of clinic resources. This study examined clinic archival data sourced from an outpatient training clinic that focuses on delivering evidence-based trauma treatment. Data included records from 249 clients (
