Post-earthquake trauma levels of women and affecting factors.
Article in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 can cause severe psychological trauma, especially in vulnerable groups like women. This study was conducted to determine the trauma levels of women following the 6 February 2023 earthquakes with the epicenter Kahramanmaraş and affecting factors.
methodsThe sample of this descriptive study included 317 women living in a province in eastern Turkey. This study was carried out between October 2023 and May 2024. Data were collected using the convenience sampling method, with a Personal Information Form and the Post-Earthquake Trauma Scale (PETS). Descriptive statistics and independent-samples t-tests were utilized in the analyses of the data.
resultsThe mean total PETS score of the participants was 58.84 ± 15.19. There were statistically significant differences between the PETS scores of the participants who thought they were going to die during the earthquakes, those who lost their loved ones during the earthquakes, those who witnessed injured or deceased people after the earthquakes, those who experienced financial losses, and those who experienced problems related to food, shelter, and security and the PETS scores of the participants who did not experience these issues (p < 0.001, p < 0.05).
conclusionsThe post-earthquake trauma levels of women were high, and the problems they experienced following the earthquakes affected their trauma levels. Hence, psychosocial support for women should be prioritized in disaster management, and healthcare systems should involve systematic preparations and personnel training programs in all relevant aspects of disaster response.
