Secondary Traumatic Stress of Interpreters Working in Psychotherapy: Protective, Risk and Interpreter-Specific Factors.
Article in Clinical psychology & psychotherapy. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundInterpreters working in psychotherapy are frequently exposed to emotionally demanding situations and may develop secondary traumatic stress. However, quantitative research has largely focused on community interpreters, highlighting the need for data on symptom levels and associated risk factors among interpreters in psychotherapeutic settings.
methodsSixty-three eligible interpreters were included. Secondary traumatization, psychological distress, resources, competence, occupational distress, empathy, as well as interpreter-specific aspects such as flight experience and identification with the patient's cultural background were assessed using validated instruments. Data were analyzed using correlations and hierarchical multiple regression to examine general and interpreter-specific risk factors.
results14.29% of participants scored above the clinical cutoff for secondary traumatic stress. In a hierarchical regression model predicting secondary traumatic stress (STS), the final model explained a substantial proportion of variance (adjusted R
conclusionInterpreters with personal flight experience and strong identification with the client's cultural background appear particularly vulnerable to secondary traumatic stress. Psychological distress, resources, competence, occupational distress, and empathy did not influence secondary traumatic stress. This suggests that support such as supervision and training should focus more specifically on interpreters' personal experiences and cultural match.
