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
objectivesIn this study, Problem Management Plus (PM+) was used for patients with multiple myeloma (MM), to develop a care model of psychology and quality of life.
methodsForty cases received psychological management (PM+ group), and 40 cases underwent investigation without management (non-PM+ group). Patients were assessed using PSYCHLOPS, WHO DAS 2.0, and HADS (see Supplementary File 1).
resultsThe results showed that the PM+ group showed reductions in Psychological Outcome Profile scores (6.3 ± 2.9) following program completion (preprogram scores: 16.0 ± 1.9, P < .05). The non-PM+ group showed differences between preprogram (16.7 ± 1.8) and postprogram scores (14.8 ± 2.6, P < .05). The effect size of the PM+ group exceeded that of the non-PM+ group (5.1 to 1.0). In the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the PM+ group showed reductions in anxiety (6.4 ± 1.8) and depression (5.4 ± 0.7) (preprogram scores: 14.7 ± 4.3, P < .05 and 10.9 ± 2.6, P < .05, respectively). In the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, scores for mobility, self-care, getting along, life activities, and participation decreased in the PM+ group following program completion (all P's < .05) but did not decrease in the non-PM+ group (all P > .05).
conclusionThe PM+ strategy could help patients to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression and strengthen social support, to aid in the management of problems and improve mental disorders. IMPACT STATEMENT: MM patients often experienced mental disorders and wished to participate in psychosocial interventions; the PM+ strategies should be as a wide to help patients manage their problems and alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
