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

objectiveResilience is associated with lower post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) severity and may play a beneficial role in PTSD treatment. The present study explored if pre-treatment resilience and changes in resilience during intensive treatment for PTSD were associated with PTSD and depression symptom change among veterans during and up to a year after treatment.

methodsA total of 727 veterans (age: M = 45.1 years, SD = 10.3) participated in a 2-week Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)-based Intensive PTSD Treatment Program (ITP). Resilience was assessed at the start and end of the program, while PTSD and depression were assessed every other day of the program and 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-treatment.

resultsVeterans with higher pre-treatment resilience tended to have lower PTSD (b = -0.24, p < 0.001, R

conclusionThe findings highlight that patients may experience similarly beneficial treatment trajectories regardless of their pre-treatment resilience. This may offer hope to patients with lower resilience that they can still achieve meaningful PTSD and depression symptom reductions.
