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
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of a humanistic care program based on narrative nursing theory on psychological well-being in conscious patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to recruit patients in the ICU from a tertiary grade A general hospital. The control group received standard humanistic care measures, whereas the experimental group participated in a narrative-based humanistic care program. The intervention was administered from the point of regained consciousness until hospital discharge. Outcome measures included the sense of being cared for, anxiety, psychological distress, and sleep quality, which were assessed and compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 86 patients completed the study, with 42 in the experimental group and 44 in the control group. Following the intervention, the sense of being cared for was significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group Anxiety scores were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group Depression scores were also lower in the experimental group compared to the control group. Additionally, psychological distress scores were reduced in the experimental group when compared to the control group. Conclusion: The implementation of a narrative nursing-based humanistic care program did not yield significant improvements in sleep quality among conscious patients in the ICU. However, the program can enhance the patients' sense of being cared for, improve their anxiety and depression, and reduce the level of psychological pain.
