Dual psychological pathways after earthquake trauma: posttraumatic growth and PTSD predict Health-Related quality of life in youth.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundEarthquakes are intense and erratic natural disasters that can drastically affect both human lives and the surroundings. The two major earthquakes that hit Turkey on February 6, 2023, affected 11 cities, leading to significant loss of life and widespread injuries. This study analyzes the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) components and influencing factors in child and adolescent victims of these earthquakes.
methodsThe study participants were children and adolescents affected by the Kahramanmaras earthquakes who visited the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department at Adana City Research and Training Hospital in Adana, Turkey. Kinder Lebensqualitätsfragebogen: Children's Quality of Life Questionnaire-revised (KINDL-R) was used to evaluate HRQoL, Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) was used to assess depression, Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale-13 (CRIES-13) was used to determine posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) was used to investigate posttraumatic growth (PTG).
resultsWhile the KINDL-R total score, emotional well-being, family, social, and school subscores were significantly higher in the control group, the CRIES-13 total score, intrusion, and arousal subscores, CDI total score, and PTGI total score were higher in the patient group. Regression analysis demonstrated that PTSD negatively impacted the KINDL-R total score, while PTG had a positive effect.
conclusionsFor children and adolescents exposed to natural disasters, HRQoL may decline, with emotional status, family and social relationships, and academic performance potentially suffering. PTSD and PTG may emerge as key factors influencing the overall quality of life in this population.
