A review of early childhood psychosocial interventions following extreme weather events in low- and middle-income countries.
Review in Perspectives in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimsAs a result of climate change, extreme weather events have increased in frequency, representing one of the most pressing concerns to physical and mental health globally, especially for children. Research suggests that extreme weather events uniquely and adversely affect children in low- and middle-income countries due to developmental and contextual factors. Given the advantages of early intervention, it is critical to aggregate and evaluate current interventions to support this population. This review aims to synthesise evidence on the impact of interventions targeting the development, mental health or wellbeing in early childhood (ages 0-8 years) following extreme weather events in low- and middle-income countries.
methodsThis review was preregistered with PROSPERO (CRD42023479342). Literature available on seven scientific databases (PsycINFO, Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, ERIC, and Cochrane) until February 2024 were reviewed and 744 articles were identified. A grey literature search via Google Scholar, ProQuest, and international agency websites (e.g. Oxfam, UNICEF, Save the Children) identified an additional 48 sources for screening. None of the sources met the inclusion criteria.
resultsThe current review is an empty review with no interventions included.
conclusionThe lack of eligible publications within this review indicates an absence of evaluations of interventions in early childhood that may support a population disproportionately vulnerable to the adverse effects of increasing extreme weather events. Research and policy efforts to address this significant gap should prioritise this critical area, focusing on rigorous evaluations and transparent reporting.
