A Home-Like Setting and a Multidisciplinary Team in the Care of Kidnapped Children: A Retrospective Descriptive Study.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 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
aimIn October 2023, Hamas kidnapped 257 Israelis, including 38 children. Most of the children and some of the women were released after 49-54 days. Data or protocols for managing children returning from captivity are scarce. We describe how our hospital prepared for, and assessed children returning from captivity.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective descriptive study of all returnees hospitalised at Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel, during 24 November-7 December 2023.
resultsTwenty-six returnees were admitted, comprising 11 children, eight adolescents and seven adults. Median hospitalisation period was 4 days. Returnees were hospitalised in a dedicated ward, with two pre-assigned rooms per family and equipped with new clothes and hygiene products in order to create a home-like environment. A multidisciplinary team was established along with a well-equipped educational centre. Examinations and treatments were conducted in a protected area to reduce external exposure. An innovative protocol was prepared in advance for evaluation and guidelines for future treatment. All returnees reported satisfaction with the physical conditions, integrated treatment and education received at our medical centre.
conclusionChildren returning from captivity require specialised care. A multidisciplinary approach and a supportive home-like environment may facilitate their reintegration into daily life.
