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: Visiting patients in special care units can effect depression, anxiety, and stress patients and their families. The present study aimed at evaluating the effects of Scheduled Visitation Policy on depression, anxiety, and stress among the family members of patients with Open Heart Surgery (OHS). Materials and Methods: This randomized, controlled, clinical trial was conducted on 66 family members of patients with OHS. They were randomly allocated to two groups of intervention ( Results: The mean [standard deviation (SD)] of depression, anxiety, and stress did not change in the control group, while it significantly decreased in the intervention group [2.27 (4.06) vs 11.97 (7.13), 2.52 (3.26) vs 11.67 (7.36), and 2.45 (4.11) vs 12.93 (6.80), respectively; Conclusions: Scheduled visitation policy significantly reduced depression, anxiety, and stress among the family members of patients with OHS. Patient-centered and family-centered interventions are needed to reduce psychological strains.
