Efficacy of group counseling in enhancing social adaptation of adolescents relocated for poverty alleviation.
Article in BMC psychology, 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
backgroundAdolescents relocated for poverty alleviation are prone to social maladaptation, which may adversely affect their personal development and social stability. Enhancing their social adaptation is therefore of considerable significance. This study designed and implemented a group counseling program to examine its effects on the social adaptation of these adolescents.
methodsThis study recruited a total of 300 relocated adolescents experiencing social adaptation difficulties. These participants came from urban districts, county seats, and towns in Z City, Guizhou Province, China. The intervention group (n = 151) received an 8-week group counseling program targeting social adaptation, while the control group (n = 149) received no intervention. The Social Adaptation Scale for Relocated Adolescents, the Personal Growth Initiative Scale–II., and the Future Expectations Scale were administered before and after intervention.
resultsAt baseline, no significant differences were observed between the intervention and control groups in total scores of social adaptation, personal growth initiative, or future expectations. After eight weeks, the intervention group scored significantly higher on all three scales compared with the control group. No significant pre–post changes were found in the control group, whereas the intervention group showed significant improvements from pre- to posttest.
conclusionThe structured group counseling program significantly enhanced the social adaptation of adolescents relocated for poverty alleviation, enabling them to adjust more effectively to new environments and new lives after relocation.
