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

backgroundRefugees are exposed to various risk factors in shared accommodations in Germany where they are housed after their arrival. Due to their often traumatic experiences before, during, and after their flight and socio-structural post-migration stressors, refugees are potentially vulnerable to hazardous substance use. They form a structurally disadvantaged group for substance use prevention and intervention. Various barriers make it difficult for them to access the healthcare system and to get health information. Therefore, a participatory multi-component prevention concept for refugees in shared accommodations was developed. The aim of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of this concept regarding the increase in knowledge about substance use among refugees living in shared accommodations.

methodsBased on a randomized controlled stepped-wedge design, the study will be conducted in a multicenter setting in nine shared accommodations and will aim to include refugees living in shared accommodations as well as social workers and psychologists working there. DISCUSSION: This trial will be one of the first to generate evidence about effective participatory prevention concepts for refugees in shared accommodations. Evidence-based concepts for refugees can improve access to health care and might be helpful for the multidisciplinary workforce in shared accommodations.
