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

There is limited research on the impact of art forms, including opera, on audience and cast engagement in understanding mental health needs and support for Veterans at risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and homelessness. This qualitative study explores post-performance discussions from audience and cast members after live performances of an opera about Vietnam Veterans and family members, and their experiences of war-time trauma, housing instability, and receiving services to promote recovery and resilience. Audio-recorded and transcribed comments by Veterans (n=8), family members (n=9), providers (n=5) and cast (n=9) were analyzed using thematic analysis for key themes, with examples of quotes. Main themes included: 1) Struggling Post-military Service, including feeling misunderstood and self-isolation; 2) Finding Hope, through commitment and community; and 3) Healing through the Opera by sharing difficult societal issues, promoting empathy, and sharing resources, with lived experiences shared across themes by Veterans, family members, providers and cast/production team with a peer facilitator. The reflections they shared about their journey from trauma and homelessness through implementing strategies to obtain needed services, were fostered through live opera performances and peer-facilitated, post-discussions.
