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

Women and girls affected by armed conflict and forced displacement are exposed to a high burden of potentially traumatic events, gendered insecurity, disrupted social networks, and barriers to mental health care. Evidence on protective psychological resources among internally displaced women in Central Africa remains limited. This study examined trauma load, personal sense of coherence (SoC), and sense of community coherence (SoCC) as predictors of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity among women internally displaced by the Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon. A sample of 133 female internally displaced persons (IDPs), aged 18 to 65 years, was recruited from two humanitarian organizations. Trauma exposure was assessed using the Life Events Checklist for DSM-5 and a crisis-specific trauma checklist; PTSD symptom severity was measured with the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5; and SoC and SoCC were assessed with validated self-report scales. Among six trauma-load indicators, self-experienced traumatic event types related to the Anglophone Crisis were the only trauma-related predictor retained in the final regression model. The final model included self-experienced Anglophone Crisis-related trauma (
