Conceptualization of moral injury: A socio-cognitive perspective.
Article in Journal of military, veteran and family health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
As research into moral injury (MI) develops, a clearer conceptualization is needed to support further research and development of treatments. This article draws on the existing MI literature and proposes a new model for its conceptualization. The authors propose that central to MI is deterioration in the relationship with self, others, and humanity, leading to global belief and behavioural changes. A definition of what is, and is not, a potentially morally injurious event (PMIE) is also presented, and the authors argue that events need to be high stakes and threaten previously held beliefs, regardless of the event's outcome. The model highlights key predisposing factors that may influence the later development and maintenance of MI, such as adverse childhood experiences and factors surrounding the event. By considering what distinguishes PMIEs from
