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

Rates of veteran suicide, post-traumatic stress, and moral injury remain alarmingly high and continue to rise. While virtual reality and augmented reality technologies have shown promise in improving post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) severity, research on these innovative methods is still limited. Multi- modal memory desensitization and reconsolidation (3MDR), a cutting-edge therapy that combines Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy or Augmented Reality Exposure Therapy with a "walk and talk" therapy, has demonstrated significant potential in enhancing participant engagement and substantially reducing symptoms of PTSD and moral injury among combat veterans. This case study highlights the novel use of 3MDR with an augmented reality head-mounted display for treating combat-related PTSD and moral injury, offering a new perspective on addressing these critical issues.
