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: Numerous man-made and naturally occurring incidents cause human suffering, both psychologically and mentally. Such circumstances endanger people's emotional, physical, and social well-being if left untreated or if appropriate intervention is delayed. This trial examines the effectiveness of an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) intervention on improving the subjective well-being of patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Jordan. Methods: The current trial employed the quasi-experimental, interrupted time series design. This includes measuring the subjective well-being (SWB) three times: once before intervention (pre-test) and twice after the intervention (post-tests), including immediately and one-month follow-ups for both the intervention and control group. 70 patients (35 patients for each group) were recruited from a specialized psychiatric trauma healing center in Jordan. The primary outcome variable was measured using the World Health Organization- Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5). Results: The statistical analysis of repeated measures using ANCOVA revealed significant differences across all time points within subjects [ Conclusion: The results suggest that EMDR may be an effective, pragmatic, and acceptable intervention for increasing SWB in patients with PTSD in Jordan. Findings support the continued investment in and adoption of EMDR among participants affected by trauma in the Arab World.
