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: Childhood trauma is a moving target, as its negative effects extend beyond the immediate mental health of individuals and continue to affect the victim years after it has occurred. Aim: The study aimed to determine the sociodemographic determinants of childhood traumatic events among young adults in the rural community. Setting: The study was conducted in South Africa. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional descriptive survey design was used to gather data among a sample of 380 participants in the rural community of the North West province. Data were collected using four sets of questionnaires to screen demographic determinants, childhood traumatic events and symptoms of depression and anxiety in the rural community of the North West. Results: With the probability set at Conclusion: The findings of the study confirm that sociodemographic determinants are important factors in understanding the impact of childhood traumatic events. Contribution: This insight highlights the need for screening of childhood traumatic events. Depressive and anxiety symptoms should be prioritised in health facilities in South Africa.
