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

This perspective reflects on the relationship between migrant psychiatry and asylum seeking in Europe, drawing on anthropological fieldwork in a public migrant psychiatry clinic and mobile psychiatry teams serving asylum seekers, refused asylum seekers, and homeless migrants in France. Restrictive EU migration policies have produced protracted forms of "wandering" that may last for years; a sedentarist emphasis in national migrant services has generally not kept pace. Calls by international agencies to protect the mental health of refugees and displaced people are conflicting with a hostile policy backlash by national governments, delimiting a contradictory situation. This perspective discusses ways movements of migrants across countries and discontinuous and uneven healthcare and asylum infrastructures are shaping clinical expressions of illness and intervention and the asylum clinic as a critical site of inquiry. It develops on anthropology as an interdisciplinary intervention that can more roundly align ways in which migrant patients, clinical services, and professionals move across sectoral boundaries, account for contested political fields and multiple registers of interpretation, and answer some questions arising at their juncture.
