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.

Abstract

We performed a systematic and meta-analytic review of biofeedback-based interventions on psychological outcomes among pediatric populations. The literature search for this study was conducted in eight databases, including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, CINAHL, Embase (OVID), Web of Science, PsycINFO (all via Ovid SP), and Google Scholar. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Checklists for experimental and quasi-experimental studies that was developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. We analyzed the effects of biofeedback-based interventions on psychological outcomes in the pediatric population by following the Preferred Reporting System for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. This systematic review and meta-analysis included nine studies with a total sample size of 658 children. In this study, EEG, EMG, and heart rate variability biofeedback were utilized to treat psychological symptoms in children. All studies focused on anxiety, with only one studying depression. As a result, it was found that all types of biofeedback effectively reduced children's anxiety levels. It was recommended that biofeedback-based interventions should be used to reduce children's anxiety.
