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

objectivesSyrian refugee women in Türkiye face intertwined challenges, trauma, displacement, economic hardship, and sociocultural pressures that impact their mental health. This study aimed to explore the relationships among trauma symptoms, psychological distress, depression, resilience, and spirituality in widowed Syrian refugee women. It also examined how demographic and contextual factors-such as age, education, length of stay in Türkiye, and residency location-contribute to mental health outcomes.

methodsA cross-sectional quantitative design was employed, utilizing both online and paper-based self-administered questionnaires. A total of 167 widowed Syrian refugee women residing in Türkiye participated in the study. Standardized scales were used to assess trauma (Impact of Event Scale-Revised), psychological distress (Kessler K-10), depression (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale), resilience, and spiritual well-being. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS Version 30. Analytical procedures included Pearson correlation, hierarchical multiple regression, one-way analysis of variance, and Tukey's HSD post hoc tests.

resultsTrauma, psychological distress, and depression were strongly interrelated ( IMPLICATIONS: These findings highlight the dual role of individual psychological resources and broader structural conditions in shaping refugee women's mental health. Culturally sensitive, trauma-informed interventions must therefore target both emotional coping mechanisms and the systemic inequalities influencing displaced women's well-being.
