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

purposeTo mitigate future health risks and improve body image coping strategies among individuals who experienced amputation due to the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake, through an early rehabilitation program.

methodsA semi-experimental prospective study was conducted with 18 individuals who experienced amputation due to the earthquake. Data were collected using the "Individual Identification Form" "Amputee Body Image Scale" and "Body Image Coping Strategies Scale". The earthquake survivors included in the study were provided with a 5-day online interactive rehabilitation training program developed based on expert opinions. Prior to the training, participants were sent healthcare materials to be used during the sessions, interactive practices were conducted throughout the training to enhance individual self-care through interaction with peers and the trainer.

resultsThe average age of individuals who experienced amputation earthquake survivors was 38.72 ± 14.53 years, with 72.2% being male and 55.6% being married. Among them, 44.4% had leg amputations, and one survivor had lost three extremities. The average scores on the Body Image Coping Strategies Scale showed a statistically significantly increase after the training and at one month post-training compared to before the training (p < 0.05). Conversely, the average scores on the Amputee Body Image Scale showed a statistically significant decrease after the training at one month post-training compared to before the training (p < 0.05).

conclusionThe development of early rehabilitation models is essential for improving psychological well-being among individuals who experience amputation following an earthquake.
