Perinatal Mental Health Among Forced Migrant Women: A Scoping Review of Prevalence and Associated Factors.
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. Cited by 1 paper.
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: To synthesise existing evidence on the prevalence of perinatal mental health disorders among forced migrant women and to identify factors influencing mental health outcomes in this population. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Arksey and O'Malley framework. Electronic databases and grey literature sources were searched for studies published in English between 1951 and August 2022. Studies were included if they examined perinatal mental health among forced migrant women and clearly distinguished forced from voluntary migration. Results: A total of 1,105 records were identified, of which 16 studies met the inclusion criteria (12 quantitative, three qualitative, and one mixed-methods study). Two main themes emerged: the prevalence of perinatal mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, and factors influencing mental health outcomes, such as social support, exposure to traumatic events, and stigma. Conclusion: Forced migrant women experience a high burden of perinatal mental health difficulties. Improved clarity in migration definitions and consistency in outcome measurement may strengthen future research and support more effective responses to perinatal mental health needs in this population.
