From Trauma to Resilience: A Systematic Review of Psychological Intervention Strategies for War-Affected Children and Adolescents.
Review in Avicenna journal of medicine, 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
Globally, 1 in 10 children are impacted by war, with over 24,000 violations documented in 2020 alone. These children face persistent mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This systematic review evaluates current psychological interventions for war-affected children. Following PRISMA guidelines, 10 studies (2013-2021) from conflict zones in non-high-income countries were analyzed. Clinical interventions such as the Teaching Recovery Techniques (TRTs) are crucial; TRT is a low-cost intervention implementable by trained nonprofessionals under supervision. Findings revealed that TRT showed promise, especially when combined with parenting sessions, underscoring the importance of caregiver involvement. School-based programs were effective in addressing PTSD and anxiety symptoms, highlighting the key role of schools and trained teachers. Reading interventions improved affect recognition, and life-skills approaches enhanced social coping, but the most impactful strategies integrated caregivers. Successful interventions combined parental and community support, emphasizing cultural adaptation and individualized approaches for sustained mental health improvements.
