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
This study aims to examine the solution-focused levels of Syrian refugees living in Türkiye and the relationship between these levels and hopelessness, helplessness, and misfortune. Conducted as a descriptive and cross-sectional study, the research involved 274 Syrian refugee volunteers. Data collection tools included a Personal Information Form, Solution-Focused Inventory (SFI), and Helplessness, Hopelessness, and Misfortune Scale (HHMS), administered via an online survey. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation test were used to analyze the data. Participants' solution-focused thinking levels were above average, but not at the desired level. A weak, negative correlation was found between SFI scores and HHMS scores (r = -0.451, p<0.001). Age, education level, and positive health perception increased solution-focused thinking, while women, illiterate individuals, and those without income had higher levels of hopelessness, helplessness, and misfortune. Those who lost a first-degree relative in the war scored higher in terms of solution-focused thinking. Solution-focused approaches emerge as a protective factor for the psychosocial well-being of participants. Supporting solution-focused approaches in mental health services may contribute to reducing hopelessness and helplessness. Furthermore, it is recommended that refugees' solution-focused skills be developed through education and social support programs.
