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

Latine communities in the United States experience disproportionate exposure to trauma, yet gendered patterns of trauma and their relationship to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms remain understudied. This study used a primarily quantitative investigation using quantitative content analysis to examine gender differences in trauma type (i.e., specific violence experience) and PTSD symptoms among 297 Latine American adults (i.e., cismen and ciswomen) recruited through an online survey. A content analysis of open-ended trauma descriptions identified fourteen categories, which were consolidated into four for quantitative analyses: structural/systemic trauma and severe accidents, interpersonal violence and abuse, sexual assault and abuse, and health- and loss-related trauma. An independent-samples t-test indicated no significant gender differences in PTSD symptoms with a negligible effect size (d = 0.11). However, a chi-square test revealed that trauma type differed significantly by gender (Cramér's V = 0.25); Latinas reported more sexual/physical assault, while Latinos reported more health- and loss-related trauma. A 2 × 4 ANCOVA (controlling for generation status) showed that trauma type significantly predicted PTSD symptoms (partial η
