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
This study concentrates on the unparalleled exodus of Venezuelans in recent years. By June 2024, the global population of Venezuelan migrants and refugees had reached 7.7 million, with 6.6 million settling in Latin America. This represents one of the most significant migration outflows of the 21st century, with estimated numbers exceeding those of emigration from Afghanistan, Ukraine and Syria. However, coping strategies and integration of Venezuelans in hosting countries is understudied phenomenon in comparison to other migration movements. The aim of this paper is to examine patterns of coping among Venezuelan migrants. By analyzing coping strategies, we aim to contribute to enhance understanding of the characteristics of Venezuelan migrants in the context of their adaptation in the host countries in Latin America. We conducted a survey among Venezuelan migrants in Peru in 2023. The study is based on the Lazarus and Folkman model of stress and coping. A Coping Strategy Inventory-SF instrument and a Latent Class Analysis method were employed to distinguish three homogeneous subgroups in terms of coping strategies. We found three such subgroups: problem engagers, hybrid engagers and mixed strategy users. These groups exhibit distinct characteristics with regards to age, sex, education and optimism. The article highlights the heterogeneity in the use of coping strategies among Venezuelan migrants. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first one to apply Lazarus and Folkman's model in conjunction with Latent Class Analysis in the field of migration studies. We strongly believe the proposed approach is useful in increasing our understanding about coping strategies and integration among migrant populations.
