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

This study sought to investigate event centrality and posttraumatic growth (PTG) as mediators between retrospectively reported trauma symptoms (RTS) shortly after the sexual assault occurred and self-reported trauma symptoms at the current time (CTS). College students who experienced sexual assault completed an online questionnaire. Results found that event centrality, and not PTG, mediated the relationship between RTS and CTS. This suggests that sexual assault survivors who viewed the traumatic event as central to their life and identity tended to have current trauma symptoms more closely corresponding to their trauma symptoms (rated retrospectively) at the time of the assault.
