Bibliometric analysis of global research findings on refugee mental health (1992-2022).
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 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
objectiveIn this study, we aimed to examine the thirty-year effectiveness and trend of research on refugee mental health.
methodsA bibliometric analysis methodology was used. Web of Science (WOS) database was used to obtain the necessary data. In particular, a review and analysis encompassed the quantity of publications featuring articles on refugee mental health, the most prolific countries and institutions, the highly cited articles, citation patterns, international collaboration, and the relevant journals. The study's timeframe was defined from 1992 to 2022.
resultsThe number of documents obtained is 3912. The majority of the documents obtained were in the field of psychiatry. The quantity of publications and citations experienced a notable upsurge, particularly following the year 2016. The United States emerged as the leading country in terms of both the highest number of publications and citations on this subject. The institutions with the highest publication rates are, in order, the University of New South Wales in Australia, the University of Melbourne in Australia, and McGill University in Canada. This bibliometric study shows that publications on refugee mental health have been observed since 1992 and are gaining momentum, especially after 2016. In addition to the terms "refugees" and " mental health," the keywords "depression," " Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)," and "children" were most commonly used.
conclusionRefugee communities also appear to have similar mental illnesses and experiences regardless of where and when they settled in the world. Research collaboration and networks should be encouraged to prioritize research in refugee mental health.
