Detrimental Changes in Individual Health-Promoting Behaviors Among Internally Displaced Israelis.
Article in International journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objectives: Israel has forcibly displaced more than 200,000 people to hotels or apartments, due to armed conflict. Our study aimed to identify changes in health-promoting behaviors during displacement. Methods: Two online surveys were conducted assessing health-promoting behaviors and body weight before and during displacement. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to compare displaced and non-displaced respondents. Results: A total of 997 and 153 participants completed the first and second surveys respectively. A significant decrease in diet quality (P < 0.001), physical activity frequency (P = 0.016), and an increase in diet quantity (P < 0.001) and weight (P = 0.001) were reported among displaced individuals, compared to non-displaced individuals. Living with children, and a healthy pre-war lifestyle were found to be independently protective of detrimental lifestyle change (OR = 0.46, 95% CI0.28-0.76 and OR = 0.63, 95% CI0.40-0.97), risk factors (OR = 2.40, 95% CI1.30-4.43 and OR = 3.54, 95% CI1.71-7.32), for detrimental lifestyle changes. Conclusion: Detrimental changes to health promoting behaviors were reported in all study groups, although they were significantly higher in displaced individuals. Immediate changes did not differ between respondents staying in hotels or apartments, but were sustained only in hotels.
