Posttraumatic growth following culturally grounded intervention among tribal young women with dissociative disorders in Sikkim: an interpretative phenomenological analysis.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. 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
Background: Trauma recovery among tribal adolescent girls and young women in Northeast India remains poorly understood, particularly for those with dissociative disorders. Existing frameworks rely on Western paradigms that do not account for the cultural, spiritual, and environmental realities of tribal communities. Methods: Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), this study examined the lived healing experiences of three young women from Sikkim who had completed a culturally grounded intervention comprising Pranayama, Ana Pana Sati meditation, and raga-based music therapy in 2022. Long-form semi-structured follow-up interviews were conducted in 2025. Results: Analysis yielded four superordinate experiential domains: (1) Psychological and Emotional Transformation, (2) Sociocultural and Systemic Trauma Context, (3) Embodied and Relational Pathways to Healing, and (4) Non-Linear Recovery and Ongoing Vulnerability. Participants described significant posttraumatic growth including emotional liberation, identity reconstruction, and altruistic orientation, alongside persistent sociocultural stressors and episodic relapse. Conclusion: These findings informed the TRIBE-HEAL model (Trauma Resilience Integration using Breathwork and Expressive Healing Approaches in Local contexts), a culturally grounded trauma-recovery framework addressing the biopsychosocial-spiritual dimensions of healing in marginalized tribal settings. TRIBE-HEAL is proposed as an exploratory, hypothesis-generating framework derived from a small idiographic sample; it has not been independently validated and requires further testing before clinical application.
