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
Mental health and psychosocial consequences of pandemics are matters of significant concern. This correlational study examined the associations among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related traumatic stress, coping strategies, and posttraumatic growth in a sample of 864 adults in Türkiye. Weak but statistically significant positive associations were observed among traumatic stress, coping strategies, and posttraumatic growth. Adaptive coping strategies were associated with a significant indirect pathway between COVID-19-related traumatic stress and posttraumatic growth, whereas maladaptive coping strategies were not. Similar indirect patterns were observed for the posttraumatic growth subdimensions of change in self-perception, change in life philosophy, and change in relationships with others. Overall, the findings suggest that coping strategies may function as an associative pathway linking pandemic-related stress with perceived psychological growth. From a practical perspective, promoting adaptive coping strategies may support psychological adjustment in the aftermath of large-scale public health crises.
