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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the effect of nursing intervention based on the broaden-and-build theory on the psychosocial adaptability of patients with minimally invasive ablation of liver cancer.
methodA total of 100 patients with liver cancer undergoing minimally invasive ablation were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The control group consisted of 50 patients who received routine nursing intervention and Health education. The intervention group consisted of 50 patients who received nursing intervention based on the broaden-and-build theory in addition to routine nursing intervention and Health education. Data were collected and compared using the Self-rating Anxiety Scale, the Self-rating Depression Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health self-report and the Gratitude Questionnaire 6. Significance was verified by the independent samples t-test, repeated measures analysis of variance and χ
resultsAfter 3 and 6 months of intervention, patients in the intervention group showed significantly greater improvement in anxiety scores (28.16 ± 8.24 vs. 33.04 ± 8.02; 32.16 ± 8.24 vs. 36.18 ± 7.09), depression scores (25.73 ± 9.18 vs. 35.91 ± 10.99; 29.73 ± 9.18 vs. 37.33 ± 9.13) and sleep quality scores (10.22 ± 2.95 vs. 11.33 ± 2.21; 12.16 ± 2.87 vs. 13.53 ± 2.14) than those in the control group (all p < 0.001) and greater improvement in self-efficacy (125.98 ± 12.81 vs. 115.49 ± 20.06; 115.53 ± 12.12 vs. 102.31 ± 26.47) and gratitude levels (40.20 ± 2.08 vs. 35.87 ± 6.29; 39.44 ± 2.31 vs. 35.13 ± 6.10) (all p < 0.05). This suggests that the nursing intervention based on the extended construct theory of gratitude effectively improved the psychological health and quality of life of patients undergoing minimally invasive ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma.
conclusionNursing intervention based on the broaden-and-build theory can effectively reduce the negative emotions of patients with minimally invasive ablation of liver cancer by improving sleep quality, self-efficacy and gratitude level.
