Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
This cross-sectional study investigated the mental health outcomes and associated factors among Bangladeshi migrants in Thailand. A sample of 360 participants completed questionnaires assessing depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress using the DASS-21 scale, along with sociodemographic and acculturative factors. Results revealed that 35.8%, 42.2%, and 17.8% of participants experienced symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, respectively. Lower education levels were associated with increased risk of all three mental health outcomes. Unexpectedly, assimilation as an acculturation strategy and higher Thai language proficiency were linked to poorer mental health. Experiences of discrimination and low social support significantly increased the likelihood of mental health issues. Difficulty accessing healthcare services was also associated with worse mental health outcomes. These findings highlight the complex interplay between acculturation, social factors, and mental health among migrant populations, emphasizing the need for culturally sensitive mental health services and policies to support Bangladeshi migrants in Thailand.
