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

The concept of attachment trauma is provocative and stimulates an effort to seek additional definitions of trauma that are more congenial toward understanding the mental injury occurring to a particular individual rather than to a broad population where the focus is on "the size of the bang." What really constitutes an experience of trauma? When does the normative adaptation to adversity that is part of the infant attachment paradigm cross over the line and become attachment trauma? Are there biological considerations in this kind of event or are there only psychodynamic considerations, relational activities? In this brief communication these questions are explored in relation to a multiple self-state psychology of mind that is consistent with Bowlby's exploration of segregated subsystems, detachment, and deactivation.
