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
Introduction: This study characterized depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in a convenience sample of Ukrainian displaced persons approximately 2 years after the full-scale invasion and explored associations with selected settlement-related indicators. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted between February and August 2024 among displaced Ukrainian adults ( Results: Mean depression, anxiety, and stress scores fell within the mild to moderate range and were generally higher than available European reference values, although these benchmark comparisons should be interpreted cautiously because the reference samples differed in timing, sampling frame, country context, and gender composition. A supplementary sex-composition sensitivity analysis using Polish female reference values suggested that the depression comparison was robust, whereas anxiety was attenuated and stress was modest. Within-sample analyses showed no meaningful association between distress and either language proficiency or employment status. Housing stability showed a tentative association with anxiety, driven primarily by lower anxiety among participants reporting long-term rather than medium-term housing. Discussion: These findings suggest continuing psychological distress among Ukrainian displaced persons in this convenience sample, while underscoring the need for longitudinal, representative research that directly measures trauma exposure, uncertainty, and structural settlement conditions.
