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
backgroundCOVID-19 is an infectious disease that has threatened the physical and mental health of people and in many cases leads to death. The present study investigated the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in reducing the symptoms of complicated grief, and corona disease anxiety, and improving the quality of life in the survivors of the deceased due to COVID-19. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe research method was an experimental design with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up with a control group and random assignment to the intervention and the control groups. Thirty-eight people who met the study criteria were selected as a sample and assigned to the two intervention and control groups using a simple randomization method (19 people in each group). Measures included the complex grief scale, the coronavirus anxiety scale, and the short form of the World Health Organization quality of life scale. Then, mixed analysis of variance was used to compare the average variables between the two groups. Also, the independent
resultsThe results showed that there were significant changes over time between the experimental and control groups (with a small effect coefficient) in complicated grief symptoms (
conclusionsACT has significant effects on reducing the symptoms of complicated grief and corona disease anxiety as well as on improving the quality of life in the survivors of the deceased due to COVID-19.
