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

This study examined the post-traumatic growth (PTG) experiences of mental health professionals affected by the February 6, 2023, earthquakes in Türkiye. Using a phenomenological approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 27 mental health professionals. Thematic analysis identified five key themes: close relationships, new opportunities, resilience, spiritual change, and valuing life. Social support emerged as a crucial factor, fostering emotional resilience and deeper personal connections. Participants reported increased empathy, professional growth, and shifts in life priorities. Coping strategies included psychological support, routine regulation, and crisis management. Spiritual changes varied, with some strengthening their beliefs while others experienced stagnation. An enhanced appreciation for life led to lifestyle changes and relationship reprioritization. This study contributes to the literature on PTG in trauma-exposed professionals, emphasizing the role of support, adaptive coping, and self-reflection.
