Cognitive appraisals, cognitive avoidance and rumination as shared vulnerabilities for PTSD and depression in trauma-exposed adolescents.

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
backgroundDepression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are highly comorbid disorders following trauma exposure; when comorbid they are associated with more deleterious and long-term impact. However, the nature of this relationship lacks consensus and is understudied in adolescence, despite this being highlighted as a critical period for trauma exposure. Cognitive processes such as appraisals, avoidance and rumination have been implicated in both disorders separately and could be potential shared mechanisms underlying this comorbidity.
methodIn a cross-sectional design, 280 secondary school pupils (12-15 years), reporting trauma exposure, completed self-report measures of Post Traumatic Stress Symptoms (PTSS), depression and maladaptive cognitive processes (trauma-related and depressogenic appraisals, cognitive avoidance and rumination).
resultsPTSS and depression symptoms were highly correlated (
conclusionsCognitive appraisals, cognitive avoidance and rumination appear to be shared cognitive vulnerabilities in PTSD and depression, which may underlie PTSD-depression comorbidity and provide targets for intervention.
