Education Without Borders: Psychological Well-Being and Associated Factors Among Children and Young People With Foreign Nationality Living in Portugal.
Article in The Journal of school 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
backgroundCentral to student learning and academic success, school engagement of immigrant children also reflects their adaptation to a primary institution in their new country. This study aims to characterize the mental health and well-being of immigrant and native students from lower and upper secondary education in Portugal (Grades 5-12).
methodsOnline survey conducted between January and June 2024 among 3073 public school students from Grades 5 to 12.
resultsCompared to Portuguese students, immigrant students have significantly higher odds of poor psychological well-being (24.7% vs. 37.8%, respectively, p < 0.001; adjusted odds ratio = 1.67, p = 0.002). Main associated factors included poor peer relationships, lack of school belonging, low self-esteem, weak teacher support, and negative perceptions of the school climate. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: Teacher preparation and capacity-building programs that focus on working and communicating with immigrant students and their families can play a vital role in more equitable, inclusive, and effective educational practices for all students.
conclusionsThe findings highlight the need to develop awareness and policy strategies, involving all actors in the school environment, for promoting and supporting positive mental health outcomes and fostering a greater sense of belonging among all students, regardless of their immigrant status.
