When good news are not enough: Predicting trauma-related symptoms and non-specific distress after negative and positive breast biopsy results.

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 disclosure of breast biopsy results, whether indicating cancer (positive) or not (negative), can be experienced as a psychologically distressing event and could involve perceived threat to life. As peritraumatic distress is a predictor of post-event psychological symptoms, its investigation in the context of breast cancer screening could improve early identification of individuals at risk for persistent distress. This study first examined the proportion of individuals exceeding the clinical threshold for post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and non-specific distress (DT) at 7 days and 1-month post-biopsy results. It then tested whether peritraumatic distress experienced at the time of the result disclosure predicted PTSS and DT at both timepoints. An exploratory objective assessed whether perceived life threat at disclosure predicted distress outcomes differently based on biopsy results. In a sample of 191 participants, 85.9% exceeded the PTSS threshold at 7 days and 73.6% at 1 month. In contrast, 12.3% exceeded the DT threshold at 7 days, and 8.5% at 1 month. Peritraumatic distress significantly predicted PTSS at 7 days (
