Advocacy and Assessment: Ethical Dilemmas and Practice Considerations in Pediatric Asylum Evaluations.
Article in The American journal of bioethics : AJOB, 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
Children and families seeking legal immigration relief may benefit from forensic medical and/or mental health evaluations and affidavits, which are expert medical-legal assessments conducted by pediatric clinicians. When conducting these evaluations, medical and mental health clinicians encounter complex medical-legal, professional, and ethical issues. This article reviews core ethical tensions in legal immigration relief evaluations for children and adolescents including dual responsibilities in neutrality and advocacy, consent and assent, cultural sensitivity and humility, trauma-informed care, minimizing re-traumatization, trainee involvement, mandated reporting concerns, data security, privacy and confidentiality, and funding models. Throughout these considerations, there is a consistent need to identify strategies to preserve child rights by minimizing harm, optimizing connections to care, and promoting the safety and well-being of pediatric clients throughout the evaluation process.
