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
This study aims to investigate the preparedness of Chinese colleges and universities to implement art therapy as an intervention for students experiencing mental health issues. Despite the widely recognized benefits of art therapy, its implementation in higher education institutions in China remains limited, contributing to the continued prevalence of psychological challenges among students. A quantitative descriptive research design was employed to assess the current level of art therapy implementation in selected Chinese universities. Data were collected through online questionnaires administered to teachers and counselors from five institutions: SCBC, GMU, BNU, CCOM, and SHCM. Responses were organized in tables and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study found that the preparedness level for implementing art therapy in Chinese colleges and universities is average. The analysis highlights a lack of essential resources, infrastructure, and institutional readiness, which limits the effective application of art therapy as a student mental health intervention. The study underscores the need for strategic improvements in infrastructure, resource allocation, and training to enhance the implementation of art therapy in Chinese higher education. Recommendations are offered to support policy development and practical steps for integrating art therapy to foster student well-being and academic success.
