1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This cross-sectional study examined relationships among trauma symptoms, mental health, life satisfaction, and perceived happiness in 265 displaced and refugee children in Niger (M age = 11.06). Guided by a socio-ecological and resilience-informed framework, the study explored both risk and protective factors. Results showed that life satisfaction was the strongest predictor of mental health, followed by perceived happiness, while trauma symptoms were not significant predictors. Unexpected findings included a negative association between life satisfaction and happiness and better outcomes among non-educated children, suggesting important cultural and contextual influences. The findings support strength-based, culturally sensitive interventions that prioritize relational and school-based resources to promote resilience.
