1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Migration is a disruptive experience that undermines immigrants' well-being. This systematic review explores the diversity of digital methods available to promote their well-being. The review includes 13 studies (6 were RCTs), comprising 8181 participants, collected through EBSCOhost web, b-ON, Scopus, SciELO and ProQuest, with no time restriction (to access all available literature). Primary outcomes were well-being (mental health; quality of life), and the secondary were stigma, integration and connection. Study quality was assessed by the QuADS tool. Digital methods are a valuable tool for improving immigrants' well-being. M-integration methods tend to focus on promoting mental health in immigrants, developing individual resilience while participatory methods address the quality of life in refugees, contributing to social resilience. Digital methods must not only be part of the guidelines of interventions for immigrants and refugees but also be a foundation upon which those guidelines are outlined.
