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
backgroundBisexual youth are at a disproportionate risk of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Unique stressors, such as biphobia and bi-erasure, and their impact on self-esteem, identity and a sense of belonging may help explain this disproportionate risk. Affirmative therapies promote self-acceptance and identity affirmation and may therefore be effective in boosting self-esteem and reducing NSSI.
aimsThis study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a cognitive behavioural therapy-based, self-esteem intervention for young bisexual people (aged 16-25) with experience of NSSI thoughts, urges and behaviour. Secondarily, this study examined indicators of change on measures of self-esteem, NSSI, identity and belongingness.
methodsA case series design was used with eight participants who experienced NSSI urges, thoughts or behaviours in the previous 6 months. Participants received an affirmative, 8-week, self-esteem intervention and completed measures of self-esteem, NSSI, belongingness and identity.
resultsSix participants attended all eight therapy sessions, and two opted out before completion. There were no serious adverse events. The intervention was deemed to be acceptable and feasible, and evidence of improvements on measures of self-esteem, NSSI, positive identity and thwarted belongingness was observed.
conclusionsThe results suggest that this intervention is a safe, acceptable and feasible intervention, warranting further evaluation. Revisions and considerations for future trials of this affirmative therapy are proposed.
