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

Aim: The aim was to evaluate the effect of a multi-component social and health promoting intervention on health and wellbeing in a well-defined group of refugee families 2-4 years after resettlement in Denmark. Methods: This longitudinal open-label comparison study involved 82 individuals from Syria aged 13-53 years comprising an intervention group (IG, Results: A higher proportion in the IG (38 %) than in the CG (22 %) had rated their general health more positively after the intervention, though the difference was statistically insignificant ( Conclusions: The study demonstrated changes in self-rated health and SWEMWBS scores in the IG and CG, and indicated an overall tendency of a positive effect of the intervention on general health and mental wellbeing among the study participants. The effects might have been more pronounced without the convergence of counteracting factors, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and substantial fear arising from the European repatriation policies debated in 2021.
