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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesResearch has shown that those who experience childhood sexual abuse (CSA) are at increased risk of subsequent sexual revictimization. Multiple sexual victimizations can lead to higher rates of depression, anxiety, trauma, and suicidality. Prior research has yielded varying definitions of revictimization, including only accounting for revictimization that occurred in adulthood or multiple CSA episodes by the same perpetrator, or it has broadly assessed maltreatment without a specific focus on CSA. This study examined mental health outcomes in survivors of CSA who experienced sexual revictimization in childhood from a different perpetrator, comparing their mental health outcomes (i.e., depression, suicidal ideation, post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD), hopelessness, guilt, and shame) to those who reported CSA by one perpetrator.

methodsAdult survivors of CSA (

resultsAlmost half of the sample reported CSA by more than one perpetrator in childhood (

conclusionsExperiencing CSA by multiple perpetrators in childhood may lead to more negative mental health outcomes in adulthood. The findings emphasize the importance of early identification and intervention for individuals who experienced CSA.
