Prevalence and correlates of prolonged grief disorder symptom severity in a large sample of Italian adults.
Article in BJPsych open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundLiterature has shown that a significant minority of bereaved people are at risk of prolonged grief disorder (PGD). However, studies on its prevalence and correlates within Italian samples remain scarce.
aimsThis study aimed to explore the prevalence and correlates of PGD symptom severity among 1603 bereaved Italian adults.
methodSelf-reported data on PGD, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety and stress were gathered. Descriptive characteristics and bereavement-related information were also collected.
resultsAmong participants who lost a close other person at least 12 months prior, the prevalence of probable PGD and severe suicidal ideation was 7.7% (
conclusionsThese findings contribute to the understanding of PGD symptomatology in bereaved individuals in Italy, although the results may not generalise to the entire Italian population.
