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
BACKGROUND/
objectiveTuberculosis (TB) is associated with significant psychological distress, including anxiety and depression, which may be influenced by coping styles. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between coping mechanisms, psychological outcomes, and sociodemographic factors in TB patients.
methodsA total of 100 TB patients admitted to the Victor Babeș Clinical Hospital of Infectious Diseases and Pneumophtisiology, Timișoara, were assessed using the COPE questionnaire for coping styles and the GAD7 and PHQ9 scales for anxiety and depression. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test analyzed the changes in the psychological scores between admission and discharge.
resultsMultinomial and linear regression analyses identified the predictors of coping styles based on psychological and sociodemographic factors. Anxiety and depression significantly improved during hospitalization (PHQ9:
conclusionsIntegrating mental health screening into TB care and tailoring interventions to coping styles may enhance psychological resilience and potentially support treatment adherence, a relationship that should be further explored in future research.
