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.

Abstract

Childhood trauma is a significant public health concern linked to increased psychiatric morbidity. In clinical practice, timely and accurate identification of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in children is essential, yet comprehensive diagnostic assessments are often time-consuming and resource-intensive. Therefore, there is a need for brief, reliable screening tools adapted for diverse populations. The UCLA PTSD Reaction Index for DSM-5 Brief Form (RI-5-BF) is one such tool, though its use in non-Western contexts remains understudied. This study examined the psychometric properties of the RI-5-BF in a Turkish clinical sample of children exposed to at least one traumatic event. The RI-5-BF demonstrated strong internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and diagnostic accuracy. These findings support its utility as a culturally appropriate, efficient screening measure for identifying children in need of further PTSD assessment and intervention.
