Delays in treatment initiation for posttraumatic stress disorder in the Canadian Armed Forces: A scoping review.
Review in Journal of military, veteran and family health, 2024. 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
Introduction: Previous research suggests delays in treatment initiation for combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are problematic for the military population. The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize what is known about the potential factors contributing to delayed treatment initiation for combat-related PTSD for service members and Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces. Methods: This scoping review was conducted using the five-stage methodological framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley. Reporting was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. A systematic and comprehensive search of several online databases, including Omni, PsycInfo, PTSDpubs, PubMed, and Web of Science, was conducted for studies published between March 2002 and December 2020. Results: The review included a total of 12 publications. Three thematic groupings were identified among the included articles: 1) stigmatization and attitudinal barriers, 2) deployment characteristics, and 3) role of military service component. Discussion: This analysis illustrates three key factors that can delay treatment initiation in this population. The most influential factor affecting timing of treatment initiation was the effect of stigmatization and the attitudinal barriers of military personnel. Further research is required to learn how to mitigate these factors and decrease the time between returning from combat and initiating treatment for a combat-related mental health condition, including PTSD.
