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

Military sexual trauma (MST) (sexual harassment or sexual assault experienced during military service) is associated with adverse mental health outcomes. This systematic review assessed international, published, peer-reviewed academic literature and aimed to (1) identify the mental health outcomes of MST for serving and ex-servicewomen, (2) understand whether sexual harassment and sexual assault impact mental health differently, and (3) identify individual differences that may influence mental health outcomes. Included sources were peer reviewed, primary research, which investigated MST as a predictor of mental health outcome(s) in women. Database searches (June 2023, May 2024, and March 2025) yielded 63 studies, most of which (
