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
backgroundTrauma has been traditionally associated with debilitating mental and physical ailments, yet more recently, it is also investigated in relationship to growth, if enough resources are made available. The Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) has been developed as a brief and reliable instrument to measure post-traumatic growth (PTG). The inventory's reliability and cultural validity remain understudied, especially in trauma-exposed Levantine countries. In this study, we aimed to assess the psychometric properties of an Arabic version of the PTGI scale among Lebanese adolescents.
methodsThis cross-sectional study involved 605 Lebanese school students aged 15-18 years (mean age: 16.34 ± 1.18 years; 55.4% females). Participants were assessed using PTGI-SF (PTG), PHQ-9 (depression), GAD-7 (anxiety), and WHO-5 (wellbeing) Arabic questionnaires at two time points, three months apart.
resultsThe 10 items of the PTGI-SF converged into a single factor. Composite reliability of scores was adequate in the total sample (ω = 0.73/α = 0.73). All indices supported/provided evidence of gender invariance at the configural, metric, and scalar levels, with females and males having similar growth scores. The pre-post test assessment for the PTGI-SF scale had an adequate intraclass correlation coefficient. In our sample, PTG was positively correlated with higher wellbeing as well as lower anxiety and depression.
conclusionThe Arabic PTGI-SF among Lebanese adolescents is a robust reliable and valid scale to assess growth post-trauma, with highly satisfactory psychometric properties. It could be used to monitor trauma impact in this vulnerable age group and longitudinal follow-up of potential interventions aiming to further facilitate growth, promote wellbeing and buffer psychopathology in adolescents.
