Posttraumatic Stress Disorder-Related Mental Health Problems and Risk Factors After an Earthquake.
Article in Psychiatry and clinical psychopharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Earthquakes can have a substantial impact on communities, leading to severe economic losses, structural damage, casualties, and displacement, as well as adverse psychological effects on survivors. Previous studies have highlighted a broad spectrum of adverse psychological effects following disasters, such as sleep disturbances, emotional distress, depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Posttraumatic stress disorder is particularly common among disaster survivors. It is characterized by the emergence of specific symptoms following direct exposure (experiencing a traumatic event firsthand or witnessing it happen to others) or indirect exposure (learning about a traumatic event involving loved ones or repeatedly being exposed to distressing details of the event). Disasters, crises, and traumas are difficult life experiences that require individuals to seek support. It is crucial to identify key factors such as individuals' location, emotional state, and their specific needs during these times to provide effective assistance. Addressing these aspects is essential in preventing trauma from worsening or becoming more entrenched. Post-earthquake psychosocial support should include comprehensive, long-term, and sustainable interventions to improve the mental health of both individuals and society. The aim of this article is to evaluate PTSD and related mental health issues following earthquakes.
