Mental health trajectories and peer refugee helper engagement, among Afghan, Iranian and Syrian refugees and asylum seekers in Greece.

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
Peer Refugee Helpers (PRHs) support peers in humanitarian settings, which may influence their own mental health. This longitudinal study examined anxiety and depression trajectories among Afghan, Iranian and Syrian refugees and asylum seekers in Greece, focusing on how PRH status (paid/unpaid) and sense of coherence influence trajectory membership. The study included 176 adult, PRHs and non-helpers. The following scales were administered three times at ~4-month intervals: Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Social Provisions Scale (SPS-24), Sense of Coherence (SOC-13), Perceived Ability to Cope With Trauma (PACT) and Brief Trauma Questionnaire (BTQ). Using latent growth mixture modeling, we identified two depression (high and low) and three anxiety (high, moderate and low) trajectories. The adjusted logistic and multinomial regression models indicated that unpaid PRHs were significantly less likely to follow a low depression trajectory (odds ratio [OR] = 0.55,
