Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Hospitalization is a stressful experience for children, often resulting in anxiety that affects their emotional well-being and recovery. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as origami therapy, have shown potential for managing anxiety in paediatric care. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of origami therapy in reducing anxiety levels among hospitalized children aged 6-10 years. Materials and Methods: Qasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control design was used. Sixty participants were divided into experimental group (30-minute origami therapy for seven days) and control group (standard hospital care). Anxiety levels were measured pre- and post-intervention using validated behavioural observation checklist. Results: Experimental group demonstrated significant reduction in anxiety levels after intervention ( Conclusion: Origami therapy is effective, simple, and engaging non-pharmacological intervention for reducing anxiety in hospitalized children. Its application in paediatric care can enhance the emotional well-being of young and improve overall hospital experience.
