Hello Expert In reference to the 3 figures below, can you please describe the statistics, and inferential statics, means and standard deviations for all groups

Hello Expert

In reference to the 3 figures below, can you please

describe the statistics, and inferential statics,
means and standard deviations for all groups
introduce the table, by referring to it, also the describe the highlights

In regards to the Conclusion- please help to summarize results

Figure 1

PRISMA flowchart of screening, exclusion, and inclusion criteria.

Inclusion Criteria1. VRET was used as a therapy or as a supplement to evidence-based treatment to reduce PTSD symptoms; 2. The study focused on the efficacy of VRET to reduce PTSD symptoms; 3. PTSD symptoms were assessed with validated PTSD assessment instruments; self-reported or clinician-rated; 4. VRET minimally consisted of either an Head-mounted displayHMD that immersed a patient into a digital environment or a large projector screen that displayed the virtual environment.

Excluded Criteria1. Published in languages other than English; 2. Non-experimental/non-RCT studies were excluded

summarizes the study and treatment characteristics of the eleven articles included in this review. All selected papers were quantitative and experimental studies [34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43]; the sample size was 641 subjects. The dropout rate was 160 subjects, with 481 subjects remaining in the treatments. Patients were predominantly male (96.7%). The mean age ranged from 18 to 62 years across studies. Studies included active-duty soldiers and veterans with combat-related PTSD. All selected studies for this review were carried out in the United States.

Content analysis emerged on three main themes: (1) Importance of VR in PTSD, (2) VR software, (3) VR Barriers (Table 3).

This study provided guidelines for developing an immersive VR program-war scenario for Armed Forces veterans diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. VRET can be particularly useful in treating PTSD resistant to traditional exposure. It provides the ability to conduct extinction training/exposures for stimuli that may be too expensive or not feasible to implement in vivo, such as virtual combat situations. According to this research, new VRET programs should be combined with traditional therapy and must consider as requirements the sense of presence (spatial and/or social), dynamic scenarios, realistic feeling, multisensory experience, and should stimulate the imagination. Most of the studies on VRET included 3-20 virtual exposure sessions, lasting 30-120 min. In this co-creation process, researchers must involve end-users (mainly for the conception of narratives and content) and access all research developed on the subject to personalise the intervention and avoid inaccuracies.

We believe that the promising findings so far suggest that VRET could become a cost-efficient and effective means of providing treatment to various PTSD patient populations in the future.
