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
Introduction: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common debilitating mental illness with a substantial burden on individuals and society. The authors aimed to compare the effects of cognitive analytic therapy and compassion-focused therapy on PTSD. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial with three parallel arms conducted from February 2022 to February 2023 in an outpatient clinic of a university hospital. Forty-five war Veterans with a confirmed diagnosis of PTSD were included. The primary outcome was a re-experiencing score, and the secondary outcomes were avoidance, hyperarousal, depression, anxiety, and numbness scores. The cognitive analytic therapy group attended a weekly 12-session program, while the compassion-focused therapy group attended a weekly 8-session program. The control group received treatment as usual. Results: Both intervention groups showed significant favourable changes in all study outcomes compared with the control group (all Discussion: Both cognitive analytic therapy and compassion-focused therapy are effective in treating posttraumatic stress disorder, PTSD. However, compassion-focused therapy is more effective in reducing avoidance and depression.
