Where to flee? Preferences for host communities among displaced people in Congo.
Article in PloS one, 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
Previous research has explored host communities' attitudes toward displaced individuals, but much less is known about what displaced people seek in a host community. Understanding both perspectives is key to fostering successful local integration. We address this gap through a randomized conjoint experiment in which nearly 2,000 respondents in the Kasai region of the Democratic Republic of Congo - internally displaced persons (IDPs), returned IDPs, repatriated refugees, and members of the host community - evaluated hypothetical host communities, imagining where they would prefer to settle if forced to flee. Results indicate that, beyond safety, respondents prioritize job opportunities while also valuing social networks and political participation. Preferences are largely similar across groups. The findings suggest that the promotion of economic opportunities and inclusive governance are among the most effective strategies to create conditions conducive to local integration.
