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: Termination of pregnancy for foetal anomaly causes significant psychological distress, yet evidence-based psychosocial interventions tailored to the needs of women experiencing termination of pregnancy for foetal anomalyremain limited. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-component psychosocial intervention designed to reduce depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and enhance psychological flexibility and social support among women following termination of pregnancy for foetal anomaly. Methods: A single-blinded, two-arm randomised controlled trial was conducted in two maternity hospitals in Hunan Province, China. Eighty-six participants were randomly allocated to the multi-component psychosocial intervention group ( Results: Although the intervention group showed greater reductions in depressive symptoms (EPDS: Conclusions: The multi-component psychosocial intervention programme reduced PTSD-related avoidance symptoms and enhanced social support. Participants with depressive symptoms experienced immediate improvements in depression and psychological flexibility, with sustained benefits in PTSD and utilisation of social support over three months. Tailoring the intervention components to individual needs may benefit women undergoing termination of pregnancy for foetal anomaly. Further research should compare women with and without baseline psychological distress to determine who benefits most from this intervention.
