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: To systematically review the intervention effect of dance therapy on the physical and psychological health level of middle-aged and older adult with arterial hypertension. Methods: The databases including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, CNKI, VIP, WANFANG DATA, and Bailianyun Library, which were searched for the randomized controlled trials for identifying the effect of dance intervention on the blood pressure. The literature published from the establishment of the database to May 10, 2023, was collected for analysis. The quality of the literature was evaluated by the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool. Results: The blood pressure in the dance intervention group were significantly improved than those of patients in the control group. However, among the mediating variables that influence the effects of dance intervention, its intensity and frequency based on the improvement of aerobic capacity were found high and low respectively, while the research on dance intervention aimed at muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility remains lacking. The movement selection and arrangement of dance therapy could integrate the physical activities with local traditional cultural characteristics. Conclusions: It is worth noting that in the selection and arrangement of movements, dance therapy can skillfully integrate physical activities with local cultural characteristics. This unique combination not only enriches the content of dance therapy but also deepens people's understanding and recognition of traditional culture. Through this comprehensive dance intervention approach, we hope to comprehensively improve participants' physical and mental health, and promote the inheritance and development of culture.
