The Relationship Between Post-earthquake Trauma Levels and Sleep Quality in University Students: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Turk psikiyatri dergisi = Turkish journal of psychiatry, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the relationship between the level of trauma experienced after the earthquake and sleep.
methodIn this cross-sectional study, data were collected from 773 nursing students studying at two state universities located at the earthquake-affected provinces. Post-Earthquake Trauma Level Determination Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used in the study.
resultsThe average score on the Post-Earthquake Trauma Level Determination Scale was 56,81±17,68 for female students and 50.84±16.98 for male students (p<0.001). The students who had a history of a psychiatric disorder, whose houses were severely damaged and whose relatives were trapped under rubble were more affected by the earthquake (p<0.001). It was found that the students with low income, heavily damaged residences, and whose relatives were trapped under rubble had worse sleep quality (p<0.001). A weak positive correlation was determined between the Post-Earthquake Trauma Level Determination Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (r=0.444, p<0.001).
conclusionIn this study, it was revealed that female students, who were trapped under the rubble and whose houses were heavily damaged, were greatly affected by the earthquake. These students should be identified by school administrations and receive psychological support. Their trauma levels and sleep qualities should also be assessed following the earthquake.
