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

backgroundTrauma- and stressor-related disorders (TSRD) are debilitating mental health conditions. Given the barriers to traditional services, remote and online technologies are increasingly used in treating TSRD.

aimsThis mixed-methods systematic review aimed to identify remote technologies and assessed their feasibility and acceptability in treating adults with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), acute stress disorder and adjustment disorder (AjD).

methodThe databases MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, PsycInfo, PubMed and the Cochrane Library were screened to identify studies investigating the feasibility and acceptability of remote interventions for PTSD, acute stress disorder and AjD in adults. Studies that obtained poor-quality ratings on critical appraisal tools were excluded. Results were synthesised using a narrative review approach.

resultsIn total, there were 74 studies evaluating 27 remote interventions for TSRD: online interventions (

conclusionsRecommendations related to remote interventions for TSRDs should be broadened to include AjD and other underrepresented diagnoses, and tailored to individual patients' profiles, including their ability to sustain engagement and clinical needs, using a stepped-care approach.
