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

Natural disasters have existed as long as the world itself. Earthquakes are among the most common and destructive natural disasters. In earthquake-prone countries like Türkiye, which experienced the February 6 earthquake centered in Kahramanmaraş, conducting studies to mitigate the negative psychosocial effects following such disasters is of great social importance. This study investigated the effect of bereavement on psychological resilience, as well as the mediating roles of psychological distress and hope in earthquake-affected individuals. A total of 387 participants (318 females, 82.2%; 69 males, 17.8%) with an average age of 25.6 years completed scales assessing bereavement, psychological distress, hope and resilience. Structural equation modeling revealed that psychological distress and hope fully mediated the relationship between bereavement and resilience. Specifically, bereavement increased psychological distress and reduced hope, which in turn negatively affected resilience. These findings highlight the critical role of addressing distress and fostering hope to support resilience in earthquake-affected individuals.
