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

Psychosocial programs in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) often omit cognitive strategies due to perceived difficulty for clients and lay providers. We evaluated the benefit of including "cognitive coping" in a brief, online intervention for conflict-affected Ukrainian veterans and family members with mild to moderate psychosocial distress. Participants were randomized to two treatment conditions based on the Common Elements Treatment Approach Psychosocial Program (CPSS). CPSS-Basic (CPSS-B) included a self-assessment, safety screening and psychoeducation. CPSS-Enhanced (CPSS-E) included these as well as cognitive coping. Distress, functional impairment, alcohol use, aggression, social disconnectedness and conflict resolution were assessed after one month. Participants also evaluated program accessibility, acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility and adoption. Of 1,177 study participants, 788 (67%) completed follow-up. Both conditions significantly improved distress, functional impairment, aggression and social disconnectedness; CPSS-E producing a greater reduction in distress than CPSS-B (ES:
