Article in Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objective: Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico in September 2017, leaving the Island with significant damage and forcing many to leave. In the present study, we examined motivations for leaving Puerto Rico among "Maria migrants" to the United States using qualitative methodologies. Participants were recruited in collaboration with community organizations in Central Florida that serve the Puerto Rican community. Methods: A total of 120 parent-child dyads ( Results: From the open-ended survey question, we found that employment ( Conclusion: Study findings challenge two common assumptions: that disaster events are best understood as singular or predominant impetuses for leaving, and that most crisis migrants do not seriously consider relocating prior to disaster.
