Factor Analysis of the Korean Version of the National Stressful Events Survey for PTSD - Short Scale (NSESSS-PTSD).
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2026. 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
backgroundResearch shows that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common in hospital settings and needs to be screened and diagnosed accordingly. The National Stressful Events Survey for PTSD-Short Scale (NSESSS-PTSD) is a 9-item screening measure for DSM-5 PTSD that has not been evaluated for its factor solution in PTSD population.
methodsWe used psychological data from 180 adults diagnosed with PTSD at a psychiatric outpatient unit of a university-affiliated hospital in South Korea. The data were randomly divided into exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses.
resultsExploratory analysis revealed a two-factor structure of the scale, with a total variance of 52.1%. Factor 1 was labeled 'psychological reaction,' and Factor 2 was labeled 'physiological arousal.' The results of confirmatory factor analysis further supported this two-factor model.
conclusionThis study supported the factorial validity of the Korean version of the NSESSS and adds up the psychometric support for its use in the PTSD population.
