1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: The public debate on migration often focuses on refugees' cultural adaptation, with language barriers being a key concern. Previous research demonstrated associations of mental health with acculturative hassles but there is little longitudinal research. Therefore, this study examines the longitudinal relationship between the mental health of refugee minors and language-related acculturative hassles concerning the host country's language. We assume that internalizing symptoms are associated with language hassles and predict them over time, for externalizing symptoms no assumptions were made. Methods: A non-clinical sample of 11-19-year-old minors with refugee background living accompanied in Germany ( Results: Baseline language hassles and internalizing symptoms (Δ Discussion: Our study shows initial, longitudinal indications that impaired mental health may be a risk factor for language hassles. This is considered important for affected minors and their caregivers, e.g., for education and peer contact. Replication of the findings with a larger sample size is recommended.
