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.

2 · The registry

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.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and positive psychology have proven effective in coping with chronic pain and providing long-term skills that enhance psychological flexibility and mental well-being.The aim of this study is to develop a digital intervention (app) based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and positive psychology in co-creation with all stakeholders, including patients and professionals. The aim of the intervention is to increase psychological flexibility and positive skills of spinal surgery patients to promote long-term resilience. Materials and methods: In this qualitative study, individual, semi-structured interviews were held with healthcare professionals ( Results: The interviews confirmed the need for information and digital support to cope with insecurity, anxiety and pain, both before and after surgery. Based on iterative steps in the focus-group sessions, thirteen modules were developed focusing on procedural information, pain education, psychological flexibility and mental well-being.
