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
Aim: This study examined the longitudinal association between age and mental health status to identify the risk factors for severe psychological distress in youth who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. Methods: A two-wave longitudinal study was conducted using data from the Mental Health and Lifestyle Survey of Japan after the event for fiscal years (FY) 2011 and 2016. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted using age subcohorts from the baseline, FY2011, and psychological distress from FY2016. Ultimately, 23,682 participants aged 16-24, 25-64, and ≥ 65 years ( Results: Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that, after adjustment for covariates, the 16-24 age range was significantly and positively associated with severe psychological distress in FY2016 compared with the ≥ 65 age range. Moreover, for the 16-24-year age group, baseline psychological distress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and bereavement were significantly correlated with severe psychological distress in FY2016. Conclusions: The findings suggested that youths showed higher rates of severe psychological distress following the Fukushima disaster. PTSD symptoms and bereavement may have been risk factors for severe psychological distress.
