The relationship between death distress and fertility intentions in married women after the earthquake.

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
objectivesEarthquake is a traumatic event with significant physiological and psychological effects, profoundly altering individuals' lives. This study aimed to determine the relationship between death distress and fertility intentions among women who experienced the Kahramanmaras earthquake in Türkiye on February 6, 2023.
methodsThis descriptive, correlational study included 294 married women residing in an earthquake-affected region of Turkey. We collected data using the Participant Information Form and the Brief Death Distress Scale.
resultsA total of 294 women participated in this study. The mean death distress score was 25.65 ± 7.46. The death depression dimension had the highest score among the subdimensions of the death distress scale (11.02 ± 3.61). Age, income level, pregnancy, number of children, extent of house damage during the earthquake, and experience of being trapped under debris were factors influencing death-related distress. Women who changed their fertility intentions had higher levels of death distress, anxiety, and obsession than those who did not change their fertility intentions.
conclusionsThis study provides a new perspective for understanding post-earthquake changes in married women's mental health and fertility behavior. Death distress is a key factor that should be considered in planning post-disaster healthcare services for women.
