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

Purpose: The earthquakes that occurred on February 6, 2023, caused significant losses in Turkey. While a large number of people are exposed to trauma, only a few develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It has been suggested that peritraumatic dissociation and dysfunctional beliefs also play a role in the emergence and maintenance of PTSD, and resilience is one of the most important protective factors for PTSD. This study is to test the moderated mediating role of resilience on beliefs about losing control (BALC) and its associations with peritraumatic dissociation and PTSD in earthquake survivors. Participants and Methods: A total of 112 individuals living in the tent city of Hatay and Kahramanmaraş Provinces, which experienced earthquakes in 2023 in Turkey, were included in the study. Participants completed Sociodemographic Information Form, PTSD Symptom Scale-Self-Report, Brief Resilience Scale, Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire, and Beliefs about Losing Control Inventory. Results: Peritraumatic dissociation positively correlated with BALC (β = 0.487, p < 0.001). BALC acts as a mediator and positively predicts post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) (β = 0.321, p < 0.001). The interaction between BALC and resilience also had a significant effect on PTSS (β = 0.032, p < 0.05). The relationship between BALC and PTSS was significant at high and medium resilience levels (p<0.05) but not at low resilience. Conclusion: Peritraumatic dissociation predicts PTSS both directly and through BALC, and higher levels of resilience are more likely than lower levels of resilience to attenuate the effects of BALC on PTSS in earthquake survivors.
