Loneliness in Resettlement Among Multi-Ethnic Resettled Refugees in Ohio.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis study assessed the prevalence and factors associated with loneliness among five resettled communities in Ohio: Afghan, Bhutanese, Congolese, Ethiopi an/Eritrean, and Somali.
methodsA cross-sectional online survey of 572 participants was conducted with the help of local community organizations. Loneliness was measured using the three-item UCLA Loneliness Scale and categorized into two groups: "not lonely" and "lonely." The final analytic sample comprised 458 participants. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze key predictors, including healthcare access, mental and physical health, social support, and resilience.
resultsOf the participants, 29% reported loneliness. Participants with regular access to a doctor were 56% less likely to experience loneliness than those without access [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.29-0.69], while fair/poor self-rated health tripled the experience (aOR = 3.07, 95% CI: 1.42-6.63). Mental health was the strongest predictor, with anxiety increasing the odds of loneliness by over eight times (aOR = 8.43, 95% CI: 4.46-15.93) and depression by more than three times (aOR = 3.53, 95% CI: 1.99-6.26). Experiencing racial discrimination increased the odds of loneliness by 73% (aOR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.10-2.74). Low resilience quintupled the odds of loneliness (aOR = 5.07, 95% CI: 2.79-9.20), while low social support doubled such odds (aOR = 2.50, 95% CI: 1.04-6.03).
conclusionThe study found a high prevalence of loneliness among adults in resettled communities, which underscores the need to address physical and mental health, healthcare access, and social support. Especially, it is critical to develop and implement culturally tailored interventions to reduce loneliness and improve the well-being of these communities.
