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

Objectives: The current study aims to evaluate the fitting accuracy of the Model of Strategic Resilience (Merkt and Ziehr) in relation to a specific SERE and H.E.A.T. scenario in Germany using the course "Überleben Land - HEAT (18E)" as a case study. Methods: Psychosocial, cognitive, and physical data of six participants were collected. These were distance, pace, and heart rate, tracked by chest straps and multifunctional watches. To evaluate psychosocial and cognitive data, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted, supplemented with a short questionnaire during the escape phase. The evaluation was carried out by triangulating the collected data. Results: The participants describe challenges in their human performance concerning all three categories of the Model of Strategic Resilience. In addition, resources are mentioned, especially for the psycho-emotional and cognitive sectors, that allow the participants to accomplish the scenario. Particularly, they highlight the harmonious atmosphere in the group, the rational assessment of the situation, and the usefulness of acquired knowledge and skills. Conclusion: The current study shows that the Model of Strategic Resilience is a useful tool to detect physical, cognitive, and psychological parameters of human performance, and to identify resources and strategies that address resilience in different courses, such as H.E.A.T., SERE, or the German Commando Course.
