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
Background: Children who have lost their parents are especially susceptible because they lack the mental and physical maturity to handle the emotional distress that comes with parental loss. This study aimed to assess the psychological effects of orphanhood in southwest Ethiopia. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey in southwest Ethiopia from January 1, 2019, to March 30, 2019. Orphan students who attended primary school at regular programs and those who live at orphanage centers were included. The study ecluded those orphans, who were adopted, not attending education, live in the street, and attending education, but absent at the time of data collection. A simple random sampling technique was employed to select participants. The SPSS version 21 used to entered and analyzed the collected data. Statistical tests such as independent sample Results: Of the 322 participants, 176 (54.7%) of the respondents were males. One hundred ninety-two (59.6%) of the participants were aged 14-17 years. Male and female orphans differed significantly in terms of depression, and stress levels (P < 0.05), but not in terms of anxiety levels (p > 0.05). Across age groups and grade levels, there was a significant difference in the aspects of stress, anxiety, and depression (P 0.05). Conclusion: Generally, we can conclude that psychological problems (depression, anxiety, and stress) are common problems among orphans in the study area. Orphans who were grade 5
