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

objectiveThe study was conducted to investigate the relationship between birth memory and anxiety and fatigue in postnatal women who had experienced an earthquake.

methodsThe study, which used a descriptive and relational screening model, was conducted on women who gave birth in a public hospital after the Kahramanmaraş earthquake. A total of 365 postpartum women participated in the study. The "Personal Information Form," the "Birth Memory and Recall Scale," the "State Anxiety Scale," and the "Fatigue Rating Scale" were used to obtain the data.

resultsIt was found that there was a significant positive correlation between the mean total score of the birth memory and recall scale and the mean score of the fatigue scale, and there was a significant correlation between the mean scores of the emotional memory, memory centrality, and involuntary recall subscales and the mean score of anxiety level (β = 0.275, P = 0.001; β = 0.176, P = 0.001; β = -0.169 P = 0.004; β = -0.208, P = 0.001, respectively).

conclusionIt was found that birth memory and recall were significantly associated with the level of fatigue; and emotional memory, centrality of memory, and involuntary recall sub-dimensions were significantly associated with the level of anxiety in postnatal mothers who had experienced an earthquake.
