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
Experiences with forced displacement are associated with poor mental health and psychosocial wellbeing for Somali refugee families. Current understanding of family distress experiences primarily revolves around individual-level behavioral, psychiatric, or psychodynamic characteristics, neglecting the potential impact of system-level traumatization on individuals and family units. This qualitative study explores Somali refugee parents' experiences with familial distress, the strategies employed to augment negative displacement experiences, and the culturally-embedded re/productions of resilience to help limit distress in light of culture loss. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 Somali refugee families living in a homeless shelter. Thematic analysis resulted in three main findings concerning family distress experiences: (1) transnational experiences with traumatic stress; (2) the deterioration of family units and structures; and (3) the emergence of chronic, collective-based cultural marginalization. The study's results highlight how chronic marginalization and discrimination may help increase the risk for cross-generational distress for Somali refugee families. Findings provide important insights for understanding the capacity for previously neglected sources of distress in the displacement and resettlement process that may influence the cross-transmission of distress in refugee families.
