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
Understanding the factors that minimize or increase the devastating effects of natural disasters on mental health is crucial. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of psychosocial dynamics that are thought to influence the transformative power of the suffering experienced by earthquake victims one year after the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake. The 512 participants directly affected by the consequences of the earthquake were divided into three groups: those who lost relatives in the earthquake (Group 1); those who witnessed a relative being injured in the earthquake (Group 2); and those who had to change only their city due to the earthquake (Group 3). The results showed that individuals in Group 1 and Group 2 had a lower level of transformative power of suffering than individuals in Group 3. However, the differentiation effect of the way of experiencing the earthquake according to the research variables is small. This study showed that positive religious coping positively predicts the transformative power of suffering in adult earthquake survivors and hopelessness has a mediating effect in this relationship. Moreover, the sense of meaninglessness acted as an instigating effect to the predictive effect of hopelessness on the transformative power of suffering. The results also showed that hopelessness became a stronger mediating effect when the sense of meaninglessness was high. Reducing adult earthquake victims' sense of meaninglessness may relatively strengthen the effect of positive religious coping on the transformative power of suffering through hopelessness.
