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

Young asylum seekers and refugees often present with complex mental health needs arising from forced migration, trauma and ongoing legal uncertainty. Existing evidence indicates that mental health practitioners frequently report lower confidence in assessment and intervention when working with asylum seekers and refugees; however, most research to date has focused on adult populations. An exploratory qualitative survey containing open-ended questions was distributed to mental health practitioners between 1 June and 1 September 2025. Interpretive description guided the inductive analysis of free-text responses from 116 UK practitioners, of whom over half reported low confidence in working with young asylum seekers and refugees. Three key themes were identified: development of professional confidence, cultural responsiveness and constrained agency. Despite a strong commitment to equitable care, low confidence hinders effective practice. Targeted training for mental health practitioners and protected supervision could enhance practitioner confidence and care quality.
