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

Direct trauma exposure (DTE) affects both emotional and cognitive functioning, yet the mechanisms linking DTE to anxiety remain insufficiently understood. A community sample of 574 adults completed measures of state anxiety, executive function difficulties (EFD) and emotional entitlement following war-related DTE. Results indicated that DTE participants reported higher anxiety and EFD, lower levels of positive and uncompromised entitlement compared to non-exposed participants. EFD was positively associated with anxiety, and DTE was indirectly associated with anxiety through EFD, reflecting an indirect-only mediation pattern. The indirect effect of DTE on anxiety via EFD was significant only at low and average levels of positive and negative entitlement, as higher positive and negative entitlement attenuated the DTE-EFD association. These findings highlight perceived EFD as a key mechanism linking DTE to anxiety and suggest that fostering adaptive forms of emotional entitlement may serve as an important resilience factor to reduce anxiety in the aftermath of trauma.
