The Role of Integrative Therapies in the Management of Trauma-related Disorders Amongst Refugees.
Review in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2026. 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
backgroundIt is well recognised that there is a high prevalence of trauma-related disorders amongst people of refugee background. Integrative approaches that utilise complementary therapies in combination with conventional Western treatments including psychological therapy and pharmacotherapy are consistent with culturally responsive care.
aimTo explore the evidence base for complementary therapies in the management of trauma-related disorders amongst refugees and summarise the evidence base for integrative approaches of relevance to the management of trauma-related disorders in this population.
methodsA narrative review was performed using the electronic database Medline (via PubMed). Additional articles were sourced using the snowball search method.
results81 articles were identified in a preliminary search, of which 22 articles were considered eligible for inclusion in the review. A broad range of complementary therapies have demonstrated some evidence in the management of trauma-related disorders amongst refugees including herbal medicine, dance/movement therapy, art therapy, music therapy, yoga and meditation, Qigong and Tai chi, acupuncture and neurofeedback.
conclusionThere is an opportunity for health professionals to provide holistic and culturally responsive care to patients of refugee background in the management of trauma-related disorders by integrating complementary therapies with conventional treatments. Further research in this field is warranted to explore the role of specific modalities of complementary therapies.
