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

objectiveDisasters and public health emergencies raise child/adolescent risk for posttraumatic stress (PTS). This study examined prospective predictors of COVID-related PTS in a large sample of U.S. and Canadian youth. Demographics, pre-pandemic contextual factors, baseline clinical factors, and pandemic experiences were examined. We hypothesized pandemic proximity/exposure and pandemic-related financial hardship in the first seven months, as well as baseline resource insecurity, internalizing symptoms, and female gender, would predict subsequent COVID-related PTS.

methodA prospective two-wave study of English- or Spanish-speaking youth ages 5-17 years (

resultsMaximum likelihood estimation linear regression indicated baseline internalizing problems, pre-pandemic food insecurity, and COVID-19-related financial hardship predicted youth PTS at follow-up, whereas COVID-19 proximity/exposure and youth gender, age, and race/ethnicity did not. Youth with baseline internalizing problems had eight times the odds of developing probable PTSD than youth without baseline internalizing problems. The effect of COVID-19-related financial hardship on PTS was particularly high among youth who went into the pandemic with food insecurity.

conclusionThe financial toll the pandemic took on a child's family and whether there were pre-pandemic mental health or resource-related vulnerabilities may have been more determinant of individual youth PTS than the child's degree of direct COVID-19 proximity or family exposure.
