Abu Zayd Ahmed ibn Sahl Al-Balkhi (850-934): A Pioneer in the Field of Psychotherapy and Mental Health.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Abu Zayd Ahmed ibn Sahl Al-Balkhi (850-934) was a versatile scholar during the Islamic Golden Age, who made significant contributions in mental health, psychology, medicine, geography, and philosophy. Al-Balkhi delved into the intricate connection between psychological and physical health, contributing to the early understanding of psychosomatic medicine. His innovative understanding of mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression established the foundation for the subsequent development of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Al-Balkhi's multidisciplinary approach, shaped by the guidance of his instructor Al-Kindi and the intellectually vibrant atmosphere of Baghdad, enabled him to assimilate knowledge from other traditions. His enduring legacy is acknowledged for its tremendous influence on historical and contemporary scientific thinking, establishing his position as a trailblazing figure in mental health and psychology. This narrative review combines historical and contemporary views to assess Al-Balkhi's lasting legacy in the field of psychotherapy and mental health.
