The aftermath of multiple trauma on a nation: unraveling Lebanon's unique mental health struggle.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Objective: This study examines the national prevalence of mental health disorders and their associated factors in Lebanon, specifically in the aftermath of the 2020 events, including the catastrophic events of Beirut blast and the concurrent financial meltdown amid the global pandemic. Methods: Conducted between July and September 2022, the study interviewed a nationally representative sample of 1,000 Lebanese via telephone, using the Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) system. Gender-specific bivariate and multivariate models were generated for probable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. Results: High rates of mental health disorders emerged - 47.8% screened positive for probable depression, 45.3% for probable anxiety, and 43.5% met the probable diagnosis for PTSD. Multivariate gender-specific analyses revealed no significant associations with governorate, employment status, or marital status, while the financial composite score consistently influenced all disorders. Conclusion: Lebanon faces a severe mental health crisis, evidenced by elevated rates of probable depression, anxiety, and PTSD. The universal impact of multiple traumas transcends typical determinants, emphasizing the need for nuanced interventions and targeted policy considerations.
