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: Trichotillomania is a chronic psychiatric and behavioral disorder characterized by recurrent hair-pulling, often leading to significant distress and impairment. Long-term psychotherapeutic case reports remain scarce, especially those integrating Narrative Therapy and the Satir Model in culturally-specific and resource-limited contexts. Case Presentation: We present a two-year integrated psychotherapy case for a 28-year-old woman with trichotillomania, utilizing Narrative Therapy and Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy. Assessments included the Massachusetts General Hospital Hair Pulling Scale (MGH-HPS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP), and Clinical Global Impression (CGI). Hair-pulling episodes decreased from 150 per day to 5, and MGH-HPS, SAS, and PSP scores improved substantially from baseline to end of treatment and one-year follow-up. The patient maintained gains post-treatment, with improved self-worth and social functioning. Conclusions: This case supports the clinical utility of a Narrative Therapy-Satir Model integration for trichotillomania. The flexible, person-centered approach yielded lasting symptom and functional gains. Limitations include reliance on self-report and potential bias.
