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
Objective: This study aims to explore the application effect of Child Life intervention on pain, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disturbance in children with acute leukemia. Methods: In a single-blinded, parallel-group randomized controlled trial, 96 children with acute leukemia were randomized to either the intervention group, which received Child Life intervention twice a week for 8 weeks, or the control group, which received routine care. Outcomes were evaluated at baseline and day 3 postintervention. Results: All of the participants completed the study. Compared with the control group, the intervention group showed a significant reduction in pain, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disturbance ( Conclusions: Child Life intervention can effectively improve pain, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disturbance in children with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy. The results suggest that symptom cluster management intervention based on Child Life provided a promising approach for simultaneously treating multiple symptoms within a cluster.
