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

introductionPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops in response to a traumatic experience, whether real or threatening, which produces emotions of intense fear and memory problems, significantly damaging the quality of life of those who manifest it. In recent years, anatomical-functional changes in the amygdala-hippocampus-prefrontal cortex circuit have begun to be studied as a key factor in the prevention, vulnerability, and treatment of PTSD, with neuroplasticity being one of the factors of greatest interest. Therefore, this review will address the latest published data regarding PTSD and neuroplasticity. DEVELOPMENT: Data from preclinical and clinical models support that a traumatic experience modifies both synaptic plasticity through electrophysiological and chemical variables, as well as myelin plasticity which enables short and long-distance connections. This remodelling of circuitry is crucial for the development of PTSD. However, it is also closely associated with prevention and positive treatment outcomes. Variables such as social support or the use of psychotherapy following a traumatic experience are linked to a good prognosis.

conclusionsTherefore, there is an interesting connection between neuroplasticity and PTSD, although many questions remain open today, along with promising lines of prevention and intervention, including psychedelic substances.
