Disaster Effect Among Preadolescents Along With a Search for an Evidence-Based Preventive Approach: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2023. 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
The mental health of preadolescents is crucial for safeguarding our future. The purpose of this study was to assess evidence-based preventive measures for reducing disaster-related stress among preadolescents. The study design involved a systematic review of articles published before April 2023. For data sources, we conducted searches on PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane, the National Library of Medicine, and other relevant resources, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) standard flow diagram for the systematic article review. Of 1,531,932 studies identified in the database search, 23 articles met the inclusion criteria, including one conducted in India. Disaster-related stress was found to be prevalent in preadolescents, with adverse effects that are particularly pronounced in this age group compared to other children. The stress experienced during the pandemic has had a negative impact on preadolescents' psychological well-being, emphasizing the need for focused care to protect them. Various preventive approaches have been identified to alleviate the suffering of preadolescents. Among the studies reviewed, a total of seven studies demonstrated the impact of disasters on the mental health of children, providing evidence that children have been significantly affected by the pandemic. Additionally, five studies highlighted preventive interventions to mitigate the impact of disasters on children's mental health, underscoring the necessity for psychological interventions. Several studies also revealed that preadolescents are more susceptible to disaster-related stress due to their developmental stage. Consequently, preventive measures were investigated to address this stress, specifically among preadolescents. In conclusion, continuous research on disaster-related stress is essential to determine the extent of stress experienced and to identify evidence-based measures, such as positive psychology, to mitigate its consequences. This not only protects the mental health of preadolescents but also safeguards our future generations from the burdens of distress.
