The health status and related interventions for children left behind due to parental migration in the Philippines: A scoping review.
Article in The Lancet regional health. Western Pacific, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Overseas Filipino Workers are hailed as modern-day heroes who enable their families to climb the socioeconomic ladder. Despite their financial contribution, labour migration often separates children from their parents during their most formative years of growth, threatening healthy development. Using the Joanna Briggs Institute's framework, a scoping review was conducted to identify the health outcomes of left behind children in the Philippines and health-related interventions. In total, 4440 records were collected from peer-reviewed articles and grey literature and 50 records were eligible for inclusion. The findings indicated that left behind children experience a vast range of poor physical (general health, hygiene, illness, and nutrition) and mental (behavioural, cognitive, and emotional) health outcomes. A total of 48 interventions were identified in 13 out of 17 geographic regions. Despite this geographic coverage, the evidence-based literature was limited with regard to whether these interventions have been effective. Additional research is needed to better understand children's health, evaluate existing interventions, and develop multisectoral programming. Funding: This review was supported by the Center for Global Health Equity, NYU Shanghai. No funding agencies were involved in the data collection, data analysis, and writing of this paper.
