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
Gambling-related cognitive distortions are associated with gambling disorder severity, but few studies have provided an in-depth examination of the interrelationship between cognitive distortions, gambling severity, psychiatric comorbidity and treatment outcomes. The present study sought to identify factors associated with elevated cognitive distortions among problem gamblers entering residential treatment, examine changes in cognitive distortions through treatment, and explore the association between cognitive distortions and treatment outcomes. Pre- and post-treatment data were extracted from the charts of 125 individuals who participated in a 21-day residential treatment program for gambling disorder. Assessments included measures of demographics, gambling disorder severity, psychiatric symptoms and gambling-related cognitive distortions. Several significant associations were found between baseline cognitive distortions and psychiatric symptoms. Cognitive distortions decreased significantly from pre- to post-treatment. Pre- to post-treatment changes on several cognitive distortion scales were positively associated with greater baseline psychiatric symptomology. Treatment drop-out was associated with higher scores on measures reflecting greater impulsivity/addiction and greater perceived predictive control. Gambling-related cognitive distortions represent an important mechanism of gambling disorder and its treatment and provide a target for the development and refinement of treatment for gambling disorder.
