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
backgroundIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common functional gastrointestinal disorder causing a great burden on patients' lives due to its physical and psychological symptoms. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) has previously alleviated IBS symptoms. Bioenergy economy (BEE) is a novel mind-body intervention that has shown moderating effects on many psychological and physical symptoms, particularly in chronic diseases. This research aimed to compare the effectiveness of MBCT and BEE on IBS symptom severity, somatic symptoms, depression, and anxiety. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was conducted using a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design with a control group in Isfahan, Iran. Forty-five patients with IBS were divided into two experimental and one control group (15 subjects in each group). The patients were assessed using the ROME III Diagnostic Criteria for IBS, IBS Severity Index (IBS-SI), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-15) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance, and SPSS-22 software was used.
resultsThe findings showed that MBCT and BEE both had significant effects on the IBS symptom severity, somatic symptoms, depression, and anxiety (
conclusionAlthough both interventions had significant results in improving patients' symptoms, the BEE program had a stronger and wider range of effectiveness.
