1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

introductionAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a prevalent eye disease among middle-aged and older adults. AMD leaves the patient with irreversible deteriorating vision, which profoundly impacts their daily lives and psychosocial well-being. Given the limited studies addressing the psychosocial needs of adults with AMD and, in particular, using an expressive arts-based intervention (EXABI) as an intervention, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of such an intervention in enhancing the psychosocial well-being of adults with AMD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This study will employ a mixed-methods randomised controlled trial design. One hundred fifty-four participants with AMD will be recruited and randomised into either the EXABI or treatment-as-usual waitlist control group. Participants will respond to a battery of measurements regarding their psychosocial condition at four time points: baseline (T ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has obtained ethical approval from the Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of Hong Kong (Ref. no.: EA210606). All research procedures will be conducted upon receiving signed written consent forms from participants. The findings of the study will also be presented at international conferences and published in peer-reviewed academic journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05675150, prospectively registered.
