Music interventions for posttraumatic stress disorder: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of mood and anxiety disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
There is growing literature supporting the efficacy of music interventions for a range of conditions, including anxiety, stress, and pain. Alongside this, research on neurobiological processes involved in the experience of music has illuminated potential mechanisms for music's role in mental health treatments. Music has the potential to act on the circuitry of the brain involved in the autonomic dysregulation associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We conducted a systematic review to identify studies examining the effects of music interventions on PTSD symptoms in adults. Five databases were searched which resulted in 2454 articles, with 1478 screened on title and abstract, and 288 screened at full text. 14 studies met inclusion criteria for the review. Study samples ranged from 6 to 330 participants who endorsed PTSD symptoms consequent to various traumas. Most studies were feasibility studies (
