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.

resultsThe prevalence rates of past week depressive symptoms, current and 12 months' depression in the sample were 0.8%, 1.2% and 16.9% respectively. Factors associated with 12-month depression were increasing age, longer duration of stay since migration, presence of PTSD symptoms and higher number of adverse life events experienced.
