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
objectiveTo investigate the efficacy and feasibility of music and art therapy combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in the treatment of adolescent patients with anorexia.
methodsA total of 77 patients admitted to our hospital from August 2018 to October 2019 were recruited as the study cohort, but 11 patients who dropped out of the study were excluded. The data from the 66 patients were collected for a statistical analysis. There were 31 patients in the control group and 35 patients in the treatment group. After the intervention, the body weight, cognitive and behavioral ability, emotional reaction, and treatment satisfaction changes were compared and analyzed in the two groups.
resultsThe treatment group had a significantly lower dropout rate and higher overall treatment satisfaction than the control group. After the intervention, the body weights, body mass indexes (BMI), and abdominal subcutaneous fat thicknesses were increased in the two groups, and the increase in the treatment group was significantly higher than it was in the control group (
conclusionMusic and art therapy combined with CBT can effectively improve patients' recognition and acceptance of the treatment, the therapeutic effects, and the adverse emotional reactions (e.g., depression and anxiety), and help patients establish the correct cognition regarding food, body shape, and weight.
