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.
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
backgroundFollowing the 2023 Turkey earthquake, university students in the earthquake district were transferred to other universities and our university was one of those. In addition, the families of many of our students were living in the earthquake district, and they were with their families during the earthquake due to the semester. We created a trauma psychiatry policlinic to serve medical students and others affected by the disaster. To identify students affected and to provide support, we conducted a cross-sectional study on medical students two months after the earthquake. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence rate and cumulative trauma and other determinants of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression.
methodsA cluster sampling procedure was used. In addition to generating socio-demographic and earthquake related dataform, PTSD checklist-5, Cumulative Stress and Trauma Scale (CST-S), and Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory were administered. All results were evaluated statistically.
resultsA total of 617 medical students participated in the study. PTSD, anxiety, and depression rates were 38.9%, 28.7%, and 21.1% respectively. Gender, previous psychiatric diagnosis, and high scores of earthquake-related features were significant for three. Negative scores of survival, personal identity, collective identity, and family-attachment trauma sub-types of CST-S were associated with all three diagnoses.
conclusionsNegative scores of the survival, personal identity, collective identity, and family attachment trauma subtypes of the CST-S are associated with all three diagnoses. However, these results require to be supported by longitudinal studies.
