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
objectiveMen who have experienced military sexual trauma (MST) are at heightened risk for a broad range of health and psychosocial sequelae yet often struggle to sustain participation in mental health care. The aim of this project was to examine whether men would tolerate and potentially benefit from a trauma-focused, discussion-based group treatment related to MST.
methodThis nonrandomized project is a mixed method analysis of clinical data collected among patients who completed treatment (
resultsThis study provides preliminary evidence for feasibility, acceptability, and clinical benefit. Contrary to prediction, there were no significant pre- to posttreatment quantitative changes in shame or belongingness, although qualitative data suggested a different pattern of participant experience.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that a trauma-focused, discussion-centered group therapy approach may be relevant for men with histories of MST, a population with unique clinical distress and treatment underutilization. This alternative therapeutic approach merits additional study as an alternative approach for MST-related care. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
