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

backgroundTo identify the mental health care needs of resettled refugees, researchers have studied the perspectives of mental health service providers but have paid limited attention to the perspectives of individuals who work directly in resettlement agencies or in agencies that exclusively provide services to promote refugees' self-sufficiency and integration-the refugee resettlement workforce-who routinely provide support, make referrals, and coordinate mental health care. To better inform programming and service delivery, this qualitative case study focuses on the perspectives of the resettlement workforce.

methodsFocus group interviews conducted with 48 refugee resettlement workforce members were analyzed for their perspectives on refugee mental health needs and care.

resultsThematic analysis revealed that their perspectives centered on barriers to (i.e., resettlement challenges, notions about mental illness, stigma associated with mental illness, inadequate access to mental health care, and limited technology literacy) and facilitators of (i.e., promoting mental health literacy, addressing stigma, providing specific and targeted training, mental health coordination, allies, and building programming capacity) refugee mental health care. A set of recommendations to minimize barriers and promote facilitators is presented.

conclusionsThese findings corroborate previous research and inform the practices, programs, and policies that should be developed and implemented to support refugees' mental health wellbeing, self-sufficiency, and community integration post-resettlement.
