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

While the impact of trauma on the well-being of forced migrants has been widely researched, there is still a notable lack of understanding regarding the consequences of collective trauma experiences within this population. This scoping review aims to explore and understand the current state of literature regarding collective trauma among forced migrants. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using Academic Search Complete, Ethnic Diversity Source, PsychINFO, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Social Work Abstract, and SocINDEX. Of the 78 studies identified, 19 met inclusion criteria: peer-reviewed journal article; published between 2002-2022; written in English; involved forced migrants; and explored collective trauma. Six major themes were identified: (1) exploration of collective trauma; (2) impacts of collective trauma: (3) intergenerational trauma; (4) resilience and resistance; (5) practice and policy failures of the West; and (6) solutions to healing. Results support the inclusion of collective trauma in future research on forced migrant populations and advocate for interventions grounded in collective healing.
