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

The war in Ukraine has caused widespread destruction, displacement, and distress. Educators are among those significantly affected by the conflict, facing the dual burden of educating youth directly impacted by the conflict while simultaneously dealing with their own psychological stress. This study evaluated the Psychosocial Support for Educators (PSE) program, a virtual intervention designed to improve Ukrainian educators' mental health, knowledge, and readiness to support students. A non-randomized control trial included 881 educators from three Ukrainian regions, with 572 participants in the PSE group and 309 in the control group. Surveys assessed psychosocial support knowledge, readiness, and mental health at baseline, post-intervention, and one-month follow-up. Linear mixed model analyses revealed significant improvements in the PSE group across all measures. PSE participants reported greater increases in knowledge (
