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

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with early onset of neurological conditions, but the mechanism by which PTSD relates to diseases of the central nervous system is unclear. One possibility is that PTSD perpetuates breakdown of the blood brain barrier (BBB), allowing for bidirectional passage of molecules across the periphery and central nervous system that promote neuropathology. Preclinical studies have implicated claudin-5 (CLDN5), a protein integral to the integrity of the BBB tight junctions, in the pathogenesis of depression. Based on this, we evaluated if trauma exposure and PTSD related to
