Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundClinical symptoms and treatment adherence are one of the most important problems in dialysis patients. Psychological treatments can be effective in reducing the problems of these patients. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on clinical symptoms and treatment adherence in these patients. MATERIALS AND
methodThis study was a quasi-experimental study with the experimental and control groups in the dialysis clinic of Torbat-e Heydarieh City in 2012. The sample consisted of 40 people who were referred to the dialysis clinic, and the available sampling method was used to randomly assign participants to the experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, ACT was performed in eight sessions of 90 minutes. Questionnaires of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and general adherence scale were used. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 21) software and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) test.
resultsThere was a significant difference between the mean scores of clinical symptoms and treatment adherence variables in the experimental and control groups (
conclusionACT can reduce clinical symptoms and increase treatment adherence in dialysis patients, so it is suggested to use this intervention in the design of treatment plans for dialysis patients.
