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

This commentary expands on Clauss et al.'s (2025) meta-analysis of attention control training (ACT) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by situating ACT and related interventions within a broader framework of attentional functioning. Although ACT and attention bias modification (ABM) show promise in targeting specific attentional processes, both neglect key domains, such as divided attention and multisensory regulation, which are often impaired in PTSD. Drawing on neuropsychological and neuroimaging findings, we highlight the need for the application of a multidimensional model of attention that accounts for the complexity of trauma-related attentional dysregulation. Future interventions should integrate a wider range of attentional components to improve clinical relevance and effectiveness.
