Figure 17 is titled “Loss of PTSD diagnosis for narrative exposure therapy compared with inactive controls.” The figure displays a forest plot reporting risk difference in loss of PTSD diagnosis, narrative exposure therapy compared with inactive controls. This figure is described further in the “Loss of PTSD Diagnosis” section as follows: “Two trials of NET and an inactive control reported data on loss of PTSD diagnosis (low SOE; Figure 17). One of these trials also had an active comparator group (trauma counseling), for which we did not intend to assess comparative effectiveness. Both trials with inactive comparators favored NET for loss of PTSD diagnosis at the end of treatment (RD of 0.06 and 0.14 in the two studies).”
