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
Aim: This study aimed to investigate whether transdiagnostic treatment as well as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) could improve treatment adherence and alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms plus perceived stress in patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. Background: Research has shown that people with chronic diseases often have negative attitudes toward medications, especially when they also have psychiatric disorders. This, along with the complex dosing requirements and inadequate knowledge about medication adherence among irritable bowel syndrome patients, can affect the treatment efficacy. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted using a pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population included patients with irritable bowel syndrome referring to Taleghani Hospital in Tehran between winter 2021 and spring 2022. Convenience sampling was used to select 30 individuals, with 15 people assigned to each group. Two types of psychotherapy were provided online and individually to the participants. The desired treatments were given to the transdiagnostic treatment and ACT groups in eight weekly sessions of 45-60 minutes. Results: There was no significant difference between the transdiagnostic treatment pre-test and ACT regarding perceived stress, medication adherence, and gastrointestinal symptoms (P>0.05). There was no significant difference either between the transdiagnostic treatment and ACT post-test. However, there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test phases of ACT regarding adherence, gastrointestinal symptoms, plus perceived stress (P<0.05) and transdiagnostic treatment regarding gastrointestinal symptoms (P<0.05). Conclusion: Specialists may use transdiagnostic treatment and ACT as effective psychological treatments to alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms and perceived stress, thereby increasing treatment adherence in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
