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

Recently, Rubenstein et al. (2024) published an article in American Psychologist providing a comprehensive review of psychological theories that underpin clinical applications and practices for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder. The article highlights the roles that both trauma-focused and nontrauma-focused treatments can play in the recovery journey of trauma survivors. In this commentary, we further discuss the benefits and roles of nontrauma-focused interventions, such as acceptance and commitment therapy and social-interpersonal interventions. While trauma-focused exposure therapy remains an evidence-based approach, it is essential to recognize the diverse needs of trauma survivors and develop and evaluate other intervention approaches.
