The burden of shame: PTSD symptoms and social support in Arabic-speaking women survivors of sexual violence.
Article in European journal of psychotraumatology, 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
backgroundResearch has consistently linked symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to diminished social support. Key factors that may explain this relationship are trauma-related shame, guilt, and self-blame, which are common among survivors of sexual violence.
objectiveThis study investigates the mediating role of trauma-related shame, guilt cognitions, and self-blame in the association between PTSD symptoms and perceived social support among Arabic-speaking women with a history of sexual violence exposure.
methodsParticipants included
resultsTrauma-related shame, guilt cognitions, and self-blame were positively correlated with PTSD symptoms (
conclusionThese findings suggest that trauma-related shame may play a role in the relationship between PTSD symptoms and perceived social support among women with a history of sexual violence exposure, and should therefore be considered in diagnostic processes and psychotherapeutic interventions.
