1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is a major global public health concern, with chronic infection affecting physical, psychological, social and work functioning, often leading to depression, anxiety, and stress. However, tailored online psychological interventions remain limited. This pilot randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of a culturally-adapted four-week mobile cognitive-behavioral intervention for reducing depression, anxiety, and stress levels among individuals with HBV in China. Thirty-seven HBV-positive participants (age 18-65) with moderate to severe depression, anxiety or stress were recruited through an online platform. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group (
