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
backgroundThis study aims to investigate the mothers' exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV), their levels of hopelessness, intolerance of uncertainty, and attitudes toward violence against children in 11 earthquake-affected provinces in Türkiye.
methodsAn explanatory sequential mixed-method design was employed. First, quantitative data were collected using an "Introductory information form," the "Intimate Partner Violence Against Women Scale," the "Beck Hopelessness Scale," the "Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale," and the "Sensitivity to Violence Against Children Scale." In the second phase, qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically to provide deeper insight into the quantitative findings.
resultsQuantitative results showed that no significant differences in mothers' sensitivity to violence against children (p > 0.05). Higher intimate partner violence scores observed among mothers reported helplessness, while hopelessness was higher among those describing the earthquake as loss/ending and lower among those receiving family support. Living in container houses was associated with greater intolerance of uncertainty, and family support was linked to lower levels of hopelessness. The qualitative analysis revealed six themes: Sex inequality, failure to grieve, unpreventable violence, violence against children after the earthquake, perceived limits and potential roles of nurses in responding to violence, and hopelessness and intolerance regarding the future.
conclusionsDomestic violence may remain a serious concern for mothers and children even one year after an earthquake. The combination of qualitative and quantitative findings highlights the need for long-term, trauma-informed post-disaster care. Nurses and other health professionals should routinely assess mothers and children for violence and hopelessness, provide appropriate psychosocial support and referral to mental health services. Post-disaster interventions should therefore extend beyond the immediate crisis period and include sustained psychosocial support to affected families.
