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
Trauma literature has emerged as a powerful medium for exploring collective and individual psychological experiences. However, its the potential psychological risks—particularly its association with PTSD symptoms among students—have not been thoroughly examined, especially in the context of Chinese undergraduates who face unique academic and social pressures. This study investigates the impact of trauma literature on PTSD symptoms, with a focus on the mediating roles of social support and empathy. Our findings demonstrate that trauma literature can alleviate psychological distress, while also highlighting the critical moderating roles of social support and empathy in mitigating potential adverse effects. The study underscores the need for trauma-informed pedagogical approaches to balance literary education with mental health considerations, offering practical implications for educators and policymakers.
