Nutritional status of refugee children living in temporary settlements in Europe and MENA region: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European journal of pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
An estimated 41% of all forcibly displaced people are children [1]. Many of these children may live in refugee camps, under poor conditions, for years. The health status of children when arriving in these camps is often not recorded, nor is there a good insight into the impact of camp life on their health. We systematically reviewed the evidence concerning the nutritional status of children living in refugee camps in the European and Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions. We searched Pubmed, Embase, and Global Index Medicus. The primary outcome was the prevalence of stunting, and the secondary outcome was the prevalence of wasting and being overweight. Out of 1385 studies identified, 12 studies were selected, covering 7009 children from fourteen different refugee camps in the Europe and MENA region. There was great heterogeneity among the included studies, which showed that there was a pooled prevalence of stunting of 16% (95% confidence interval 9.9-23%, I
