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
Natural disasters threaten population mental health. Acceptance, denoting recognition and assent of the finality of a situation, is a coping strategy that has been recommended following major disasters. This study investigates this topic for which existing findings are mixed. A survey was administered among a population-representative Turkish national sample (N = 7585) recruited through the internet panel of TGM Research (September-October 2023). We examined how acceptance and its interaction with cognitive integration (i.e., finding sense in a stressful event and finding significance in life after the event) were associated with common psychiatric symptoms. Respondents with high acceptance showed higher symptoms of anxiety, depression and PTSD. These associations were stronger when respondents also reported low perceived significance in life after the event. In the post-disaster phase, the adaptiveness of acceptance could interplay with other factors, such as how much an individual finds significance in life following the disaster.
