Mental health, coping strategies, and help-seeking behaviour during the ongoing war in Ukraine: a cross-sectional study.
Article in International journal of public health, 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
Objectives: The war in Ukraine has had an impact on the population's mental health. Displacement, economic instability, loss of loved ones, and shortages of basic resources have contributed to distress, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Methods: This study examined mental health symptoms and coping strategies in a sample of 100 Ukrainian adults (mean age = 35.5 ± 12.5; 73% female). Participants completed self-report questionnaires assessing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, along with stressors, coping, and help-seeking behaviour. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of mental health outcomes and service use. Results: Symptoms of depression were reported by 70% of participants, anxiety by 80%, and 31% met criteria for probable PTSD. Despite this, only 15% sought psychological help. Women were more likely than men to report anxiety and PTSD. Perceived stress significantly predicted mental health outcomes and was associated with a greater likelihood of help-seeking. Conclusion: These findings highlight the urgent need to improve access to psychological and psychiatric care in Ukraine.
