Health-Related Quality of Life Among Ukrainian War Refugees Compared to the General Population in Estonia.
Article in International journal of public health, 2026. 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
Objectives: The study aimed to provide a comparative analysis of HRQoL and its health-related and socio-demographic correlates among Ukrainian refugees and general population in Estonia. Methods: Study used age and sex matched data (1249 pairs) from two representative cross-sectional surveys covering Ukrainian refugees aged 18-64 years residing in Estonia (n = 1,430), and the general population (n = 2007) of Estonia in 2024. Tobit-regression was used to compare the EQ-5D-3L index values in both groups while controlling for wide range of socio-demographic and health indicators. Results: Refugees reported less restrictions in mobility, self-care or in performing usual activities, whereas higher prevalence of pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression was found for refugees compared to control group. Refugees had slightly lower EQ-5D index score (estimate -0.017, p = 0.029) compared to population controls after adjustment for socio-demographic and health-related covariates. Conclusion: Variations in EQ-5D-3L dimensions and index scores between refugees and population controls contribute to the literature on refugee HRQoL and extend the knowledge on HRQoL of Ukrainian refugees in the context of ongoing refugee crisis in Europe while also improving knowledge for support provision to this refugee group in Estonia.
