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
backgroundStudents who are about to take their final-year college entrance examinations experience considerable worries and psychological stress. Enhancing ambiguity tolerance, distress tolerance, and academic achievement motivation during this period can greatly contribute to their psychological well-being and academic success. The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness of a group intervention based on a cognitive-behavioral approach on the levels of ambiguity tolerance, distress tolerance, and academic achievement motivation among students in this educational phase. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study is a quasi-experimental research design with a pre-test, post-test design, and a 1-month follow-up with a control group. The population includes all students in District 16 of Tehran. Using convenience sampling, 20 male students from the high in District 16 were selected as the experimental group, and 20 of them were selected as the control group (using G*Power). The research instruments included the Second-Type Ambiguity Tolerance Questionnaire, Distress Tolerance Questionnaire, and Academic Achievement Motivation Questionnaire. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) sessions were conducted in a group format, following an 8-weekly session plan, with each session lasting 2 hours for the experimental group. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA).
resultsThe results of the repeated-measures ANOVA showed that CBT had a significant effect on increasing ambiguity tolerance, distress tolerance, and academic achievement motivation (
conclusionThe results indicated that a group intervention based on the cognitive-behavioral approach increased ambiguity tolerance, distress tolerance, and academic achievement motivation in male students in their final year of high school (on the verge of college entrance examination). Therefore, these interventions are recommended for college-bound students to enhance their psychological well-being and academic success.
