Migration and mental health problems of older adults: Challenges and proposed solutions.
Article in Industrial psychiatry journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Due to several geopolitical factors, the number of older migrants increased worldwide with an estimated of 34.3 million in 2020. Older migrants are particularly vulnerable to mental health problems because of their physical health, reduced social networks, and lack of social support. This review aims to summarize current evidence on mental health issues of older persons related to migration and propose possible actions to promote mental health and prevent psychiatric illnesses of this vulnerable group. There are two types of migration in the elderly, for those with and without secured support. Not surprisingly, they have major differences in many characteristics. Common mental health problems in older migrants are depression, loneliness, anxiety, and other symptoms that become complicated with existing or new physical conditions. The links between migration, mental health, and older adults are explored in this paper. Suggested solutions for mental health practitioners and policymakers are proposed. In order to explore these challenges, further suggestions are offered to ensure that older adults' mental health and wellbeing are looked after.
