Current evidence and future directions for social and societal resilience factors in response to societal challenges and crises: an overview of systematic reviews and expert rating.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 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
Resilient outcomes are the most common response to societal crises. Resilience factors represent multilevel psychosocial resources that increase the likelihood of resilient responses. While resilience research has predominantly focused on individual factors, social and societal factors have received less attention. This overview of systematic reviews aimed to identify and summarize evidence on social and societal resilience factors linked to mental health responses during societal challenges in high-income countries. Systematic reviews exploring these associations were identified through searches in three databases up to June 12, 2023. Resilience factors were classified as having favorable, unfavorable, mixed, or non-significant associations with mental health outcomes. Quality appraisal used an adapted AMSTAR-2-tool. Twenty reviews (samples: 2,402–489,419) reported on stressors like pandemics, minority stress, and migration. At the social level, stronger evidence supports the favorable effects of social support, relationship quality, and family support. Societal factors like adequate housing, access to mental health services, and supportive policies were linked to resilience outcomes, though evidence remains sparse or heterogenous for many factors. An expert survey rated social factors as slightly more important than societal ones. Expanding resilience research to include families, workplaces, and societal factors in longitudinal studies will enhance the understanding of resilience from a systemic perspective.
