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

Aim: This study characterized Disaster Psychiatric Assistance Team (DPAT)-recorded consultations following the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake (NPE) by comparing Japan Surveillance in Post Extreme Emergencies and Disasters (J-SPEED) records with Disaster Mental Health Information Support System (DMHISS) records from the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake (KE), with particular attention to population aging, peninsula geography, geographic isolation, and infrastructure disruption. Methods: This descriptive epidemiological study analyzed J-SPEED data from the NPE (January 2 to May 26, 2024) and DMHISS data for the KE (April 14 to June 30, 2016). Age group, sex, consultation period, and mental health events were compared. Temporal comparisons were restricted to the common 78-day DPAT activity window. Results: Consultations were fewer after the NPE ( Conclusion: The NPE was characterized by a higher proportion of older adults and more frequent depression, suicidal ideation, flashbacks, and behavioral problems. Records on or after Day 79 indicate DPAT-involved consultations in a later post-disaster phase, although persistent needs and delayed reach of support could not be distinguished.
