Children's rights in the gap between what is known and what is experienced: awareness among Syrian migrant and Turkish children.
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
backgroundAwareness of children's rights (CR) is fundamental to safeguarding children from abuse, ensuring their well-being, and enabling their access to a dignified standard of living. However, little is known about how Turkish students (TS) and Syrian migrant students (SMS) perceive and internalize these rights in contexts marked by migration and vulnerability.
methodsThis study employed an explanatory sequential mixed methods design to examine and compare CR awareness among TS and SMS in Türkiye. Quantitative data were gathered from 437 TS and 434 SMS through standardized surveys, whereas qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews and a drawing activity, whereby 15 students from each group illustrated their perceptions of CR.
resultsStatistical analysis revealed that TS exhibited slightly higher levels of awareness regarding some CR than SMS. Nonetheless, item-level comparisons highlighted both convergences and divergences in specific rights domains, shaped by contextual and experiential differences. Thematic analysis of interview data yielded three primary themes: rights commonly recognized across both groups; rights uniquely identified within a specific group; and instances where responsibilities were misconstrued as rights. Furthermore, the findings elucidate how lived experience and social context influence the conceptualization and prioritization of CR.
conclusionsBy providing a comprehensive and comparative exploration of rights awareness among TS and SMS, this study offers critical insights for international policy discussions on child rights and education-particularly in relation to vulnerable and migrant populations. The results underscore the necessity of context-sensitive educational interventions and the inclusion of diverse child perspectives in rights-based programming.
