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: Juvenile delinquency with a history of alcohol use is a growing concern with a significant impact on their holistic well-being. Life purpose (LP) has been recognized as essential for enhancing adolescent wellness. LP should therefore be useful in addressing juvenile delinquency. Objective: This quasi-experimental study investigated the effect of the life purpose program on the wellness of juvenile delinquents with a history of alcohol use in Southern Thailand. Methods: Sixty-seven delinquents, aged 15 to 19, from the Juvenile Detention Center were randomly assigned to either the intervention group ( Results: At baseline, there were no significant differences in wellness scores between the control and intervention groups. Following the intervention, wellness scores at weeks 16 and 24 were significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group ( Conclusion: The program was successful in improving wellness among juvenile delinquents with a history of alcohol use and shows promise for broader application. It should be implemented by nurses and other professionals as part of efforts to promote a sense of life purpose in similar populations. However, further research is needed to evaluate its long-term impact and sustainability. Integrating the life purpose program into existing rehabilitation processes may enhance the overall well-being of juvenile detainees.
