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

In this study, the aim was to adapt the Child and Adolescent Trauma Screening-2 (CATS-2) to Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties. The study also examined how posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, depression, and anxiety are associated with each other. The results showed that the Turkish CATS-2 is a valid and reliable tool for assessing trauma-related symptoms in children and adolescents. Network analysis revealed that emotion regulation occupies a central position in the symptom network and has strong connections with re-experiencing and hyperarousal symptoms. Further analysis indicated that anxiety and relational difficulties are strongly connected to other symptoms within the network. Overall, the findings suggest that emotion regulation difficulties, anxiety, and relational problems are important aspects of trauma-related symptom patterns in children and adolescents. The Turkish CATS-2 can be used to help understand these symptom patterns, supporting research and practice in evaluating trauma responses in youth.
