Relationship between post-traumatic stress reactions and anxiety sensitivity in children with earthquake experience: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC psychology, 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
objectivesChildren are among the groups most adversely affected by earthquakes, especially those in school and adolescents have a higher awareness of traumatic events. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between post-traumatic stress reactions and anxiety sensitivity levels in children who experienced earthquakes.
methodsThe study is descriptive and correlational cross-sectional design. The study was conducted with 292 children aged 8–15 who experienced the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. Data were collected using the Socio-Demographic Information Form, Post-Traumatic Stress Response Scale for Children, and Child Anxiety Sensitivity Index (CAS). Data were reported using numbers, percentages, means, standard values, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression tests.
resultsThe mean age of the children was 12.35 ± 2.21, and 54.5% were female. The children scored 42.89 ± 16.72 on the post-traumatic stress response scale and 36.48 ± 7.95 on the anxiety sensitivity index. The study found a positive significant relationship between post-traumatic stress reactions and anxiety sensitivity of children who experienced an earthquake (p<.05).
conclusionIt is seen that increasing the level of earthquake exposure causes an increase in stress responses and that increased stress responses are effective in increasing anxiety sensitivity. It is important to raise awareness of children and families about earthquakes and to direct children exposed to earthquakes to the necessary support services. CLINICAL
