Prevalence and associated risk factors of probable PTSD among internally displaced people in Southwest Ethiopia.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 predominant mental health outcome associated with natural or manufactured disasters and stressful events is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Public health expenditures associated with post-conflict situations constrain research on PTSD in low-income nations. The main objective of this study was to ascertain the prevalence and risk factors for PTSD among internally displaced individuals in the Gura Ferda district of southwestern Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional survey was undertaken among internally displaced individuals in the Gura Ferda district of southwestern Ethiopia from January 1 to February 1, 2022. The prevalence of Probable PTSD symptoms among residents was 51.2%. The results revealed that female (AOR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.13-3.16), alcohol consumption (AOR: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.03-3.39), khat chewing (AOR: 2.46, 95% CI: 1.05-5.78), family history of mental illness (AOR: 10.67, 95% CI: 4.36-38.03), previous history of mental illness (AOR: 2.56, 95% CI: 1.35-4.87), destruction of personal property (AOR: 2.24, 95% CI: 1.24-4.06), lack of food or water (AOR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.10-3.69), physical injury (AOR: 2.06, 95% CI: 1.10-3.85), and illness without medical care (AOR: 2.13, 95% CI: 1.24-3.68) were independently associated with probable PTSD.
