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

Background: Disturbances in memory following trauma exposure are central to the development of posttraumatic stress disorders. Whether traumatic memories directly or indirectly affect symptoms of other disorders like depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) remains unclear. This study tested the hypothesis that traumatic memories are directly related to depression and GAD symptoms, independent of posttraumatic stress symptoms. Method: Cross-sectional data from quasi-representative samples from Ukraine ( Results: Traumatic memories were strongly, positively, and significantly correlated with PTSD, DSO, depression, and GAD symptoms. Controlling for PTSD symptoms, traumatic memories remained positively ( Conclusion: Traumatic memories were associated with depression and GAD symptoms, independent of the effects of posttraumatic stress symptoms. These findings are consistent with the proposition that traumatic memories are directly related to depression and GAD symptoms, as well as posttraumatic stress symptoms. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.
