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
Burn injuries can be traumatic and distressing for patients, with a prolonged period of recovery. This qualitative study aimed to explore adult burn patients' perceptions of the barriers and facilitators to accessing psychological support in a Regional Burns Service in Southeast England. Participants (five females and six males) were under the care of the burns unit and were not currently accessing psychological support. Eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted. Responses were analysed using thematic analysis. Four main themes highlighted how access to psychology was influenced by communication between the patient and service, beliefs about mental health, environmental challenges, and patient hope. Recommendations for improving access to burn psychological care included (1) the provision of patient resources to increase awareness and reduce stigma; (2) psychological skills training to encourage staff to recognise distress and respond appropriately; (3) staff training in the practice of cultural humility; (4) increasing psychological presence in outpatient appointments and via routine follow-ups.
