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

Earthquakes expose not only survivors but also support providers to significant psychological strain. Professionals delivering prolonged psychosocial support in post-disaster contexts may experience compassion fatigue, yet protective factors that enhance compassion satisfaction or reduce fatigue remain insufficiently examined. This study investigated the relationships among psychological resilience, mindfulness, compassion satisfaction, and compassion fatigue, and examined the mediating role of self-compassion in these associations. Participants were 125 psychosocial support providers (63 females, 62 males; M = 32.97, SD = 7.32) who delivered services following the 2023 Türkiye–Syria earthquakes. Correlational analyses indicated that psychological resilience, mindfulness, and self-compassion were positively associated with compassion satisfaction and negatively associated with compassion fatigue. Mediation analyses further showed that self-compassion mediated the relationships between psychological resilience and compassion fatigue, and between mindfulness and compassion fatigue. These findings highlight the protective roles of psychological resilience, mindfulness, and self-compassion in promoting compassion satisfaction and mitigating compassion fatigue among psychosocial support providers working in post-disaster settings. The results provide implications for developing interventions to support the well-being of professionals delivering disaster-related mental health services.
