[Intensive care diaries to reduce of posttraumatic stress disorder for critical care patients-a systematic review with meta-analysis].
Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSurvivors of critical illness have an increased risk of psychological disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders or depression. A possible preventive intervention is an intensive care diary. The effect of intensive care diaries on the prevention of these psychosocial disorders remains unclear.
methodsIn May 2024, a literature search with following metaanalysis was performed in PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and PsychInfo databases based on the metaanalysis of Nydahl et al. (2018). Studies included were studies on intensive diaries with PTSD as the primary outcome and anxiety and depression as secondary outcomes. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2 and the metaanalysis was performed with RevMan 5.4.1.
resultsAfter reviewing 539 titles, 10 studies were included. The studies were of low to good quality. A total of three metaanalyses were performed. The metaanalysis for PTSD of intensive care patients (n = 1081; 9 studies) showed a significant reduction (OR 0.52 [95% CI: 0.28-0.98] p = 0.04; I
conclusionsIntensive care diaries may reduce the incidence of PTSD for patients after an ICU stay. However, no significant reduction can currently be shown for anxiety or depression.
