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
Although negative autobiographical memories play a defined etiological role for trauma-related disorders, it is less clear what role they play in other anxiety-related disorders. Understanding the prevalence of negative autobiographical memories that are conceptually related to a patient's symptoms (i.e., symptom-relevant negative autobiographical memories; SNAMs) in anxiety-related disorders may help inform the development of novel memory-based interventions. The current scoping review examined the prevalence of SNAMs in anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder, including SNAMs that were reported to have occurred around symptom onset (i.e., Symptom Onset SNAMs) and SNAMs that were reported to have occurred at any time (i.e., Lifetime SNAMs). Lifetime SNAMs also included a subcategory of SNAMs associated with intrusive imagery. The relationship of the presence of SNAMs to symptom onset, disorder status, and symptom severity was also examined. A systematic search identified 39 relevant articles. The prevalence of Symptom Onset SNAMs assessed by the Phobic Origins Questionnaire, interviews, and the Origins Questionnaire ranged from 30-89% (IQR = 50-68.5%; samples = 23), 23-61% (IQR = 30-49%; samples = 11), and 17-37% (samples = 6), respectively. The prevalence of Lifetime SNAMs ranged from 89-100% (samples = 6) and Intrusive Imagery-Related Lifetime SNAMs ranged from 38-100% (IQR = 60.5-79%; samples = 12). Five of 14 studies observed a significantly higher rate of SNAMs in patient relative to control samples. Findings are discussed with regard to limitations of the current evidence and future research that can inform the value of targeting SNAMs in treatment.
