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 assess and compare post-earthquake trauma and anxiety in intensive care unit (ICU) and inpatient unit nurses after the Kahramanmaraş earthquake in February 2023 at Dicle University Hospital in Diyarbakır, Türkiye.
methodThis cross-sectional study was conducted from July 1 to 31, 2023, with 244 nurses (89 ICU and 155 inpatient unit). A sociodemographic form, the Post-Earthquake Trauma Level Determination Scale (PETLDS), and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were administered. Statistical analyses included the chi-square test, t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation test.
resultsIn this study, 12.3% of all participants exhibited moderate anxiety and 13.9% displayed severe trauma. The mean scores and subscales of the PETLDS did not differ significantly between the two groups (inpatient: 48.2 ± 20.0 vs ICU: 45.6 ± 18.0; p > 0.05). Also, no statistically significant differences were found in the anxiety levels measured using the BAI according to the type of unit (p > 0.05). However, both groups presented notable proportions of psychological symptomatology.
conclusionBoth ICU and inpatient unit nurses experienced comparable and considerable levels of post-disaster trauma and anxiety. The findings underscore the need to integrate psychological support programs and resilience strategies for healthcare personnel working during and in the aftermath of disasters.
