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

Introduction: In this brief research report, we postulated that operations involving children can increase stress for first responders. Here, a traffic accident in which a mother and her child were fatally wounded was investigated. We postulated that firefighters with children and firefighters without pre-training experience would experience greater psychological impact when responding to this incident. Methods: All firefighters who responded to the incident could participate voluntarily. Participants ( Results: Firefighters with children reported lower environmental quality of life (F(1,45) = 4.27, Conclusion: The psychological consequences of critical events appear to be influenced more by individual characteristics and preparation than by exposure alone. Targeted preparatory training can reduce anger-related reactions, particularly among firefighters directly involved in operations.
