Figure 5 is titled “Loss of diagnosis for CT compared with inactive comparators.” The figure displays a forest plot reporting risk difference in loss of PTSD diagnosis, CT versus inactive comparators. This figure is described further in the “Loss of PTSD Diagnosis” section as follows: “Three of the four trials that compared loss of PTSD diagnosis between CT and inactive comparators found significantly higher rates of loss of PTSD diagnosis at posttreatment among those who received the CT intervention as compared with those who received an inactive comparator (RD, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.28 to 0.82; I2, 88.5%; 4 trials, N=314; moderate SOE) (Figure 5).”
