Functional Posttraumatic Cognitions Questionnaire (FPTCQ): Turkish Adaptation and Validation.
Article in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
While dysfunctional posttraumatic cognitions are well-studied, functional posttraumatic cognitions remain largely unexplored. Advancing research on functional cognitions following trauma requires reliable and valid instruments that can accurately assess them. This study aimed to adapt the Functional Posttraumatic Cognitions Questionnaire (FPTCQ) into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties. The Study I sample consisted of 460 adults (385 women, 83.7%; 75 men, 16.3%) aged 18-51 years (M = 23.69, SD = 5.64). The Study II sample consisted of 494 adults (79.4% women and 20.6% men) aged 18-51 years (M = 22.99, SD = 5.38). In Study I, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the 11-item factor structure of the FPTCQ-Turkish Form with good fit indices: χ2/df = 4.57, RMSEA = 0.08, SRMR = 0.047, and CFI = 0.926. Reliability coefficients indicated high internal consistency in Study I (α = 0.88, ω = 0.88, λ = 0.89) and Study II (α = 0.87, ω = 0.87, λ = 0.88). Convergent validity was supported, with FPTCs showing significant correlations with perceived stress (r = - .431), cognitive attribution (r = - .489), and subjective happiness (r = .444). Measurement invariance was established at configural, metric, and scalar levels. Item Response Theory (IRT) analyses demonstrated acceptable to very high item discrimination (0.75-3.17). In Study II, predictive validity was assessed via structural equation modeling (SEM). The model indicated good fit indices: χ2/df = 2.75, RMSEA = 0.06, SRMR = 0.056, and CFI = 0.958. FPTCs made a significant unique contribution to life satisfaction, explaining an additional 3% of its variance beyond resilience and posttraumatic growth. The findings suggest that the FPTCQ-Turkish Form can be utilized to assess functional posttraumatic cognitions. Furthermore, FPTCs have the potential to represent a posttraumatic cognitions framework in adults.
