Approach to developmental disabilities in newcomer families.
Review in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveTo provide a framework for primary care providers to approach developmental disabilities in both refugee and nonrefugee immigrant populations. SOURCES OF INFORMATION: Ovid MEDLINE was searched from January 2005 to February 2017 using subject headings MAIN MESSAGE: As family physicians, it can be daunting to care for newcomer families who arrive without previous developmental disability or delay screening and diagnoses. Disruption to families and education, decreased health literacy, witnessed traumatic events, and culturally specific barriers can affect the presentation of developmental concerns among refugees and immigrants. Surveillance and screening for developmental concerns in a culturally sensitive manner using evidence-based tools are cornerstones of early intervention.
conclusionFor refugees in particular, in light of the inequities they have faced before migration and during their migration trajectory, screening for developmental disabilities and intervening provides an opportunity to help achieve equitable outcomes for refugee children and optimize their health and well-being.
