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

backgroundIn recent years, there has been a growing interest in new therapeutic approaches to treat trauma, namely through Body and/or Movement-Oriented Interventions (BMOIs), seeking to change the way the body responds to traumatic experiences. This is a recent research field, and it has focused mainly on adults. As traumatic experiences deeply affect adolescents, it is crucial to understand if BMOIs are effective approaches to reduce trauma-based symptoms in this population.

objectiveThe knowledge about the effects of BMOIs in traumatized adolescents is still limited. This paper aims to address this gap by reviewing the research on BMOIs to systematize their effects on adolescents' trauma-based symptoms.

methodsA meticulous search of databases and grey literature was conducted to gather relevant information on this research topic. Studies published between 2000 and 2024 were analysed. Ninety relevant studies were identified, nine of which met the inclusion criteria. The selected studies were analysed to assess their characteristics and procedures and the effects of BMOIs.

resultsThe results suggest that BMOIs may be promising approaches to reduce PTSD symptoms and PTSD comorbidities, such as mood or anxiety disorders. They also indicate BMOIs potentiality at improving arousal regulation, contributing to normalise excitability and reactivity patterns.

conclusionThis study demonstrates that BMOIs may have a positive impact on adolescents' trauma-based symptoms and on psychophysiological patterns affected by traumatic experiences. Although preliminary, these findings suggest that BMOIs are valid approaches to address trauma in this population.
