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.

Abstract
Background: Mandala coloring is effective in reducing anxiety. However, it has received little attention as an adjunctive therapy to manage children's anxiety. This study aimed to explore the impact of mandala coloring on the anxiety of children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Materials and Methods: The participants in this clinical trial study were 120 children aged 6-18 years with CF with mild-to-moderate anxiety admitted to Mofid Hospital in Tehran. The children were randomly divided into two groups: intervention and control. The children in the intervention group performed mandala coloring exercises every evening for 30 minutes for 6 consecutive days. The level of anxiety in the children in both groups was measured using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory before the intervention and 6 days after the first measurement. The collected data were analyzed using the independent Results: An analysis of the mean anxiety scores before and after the intervention showed a significant decrease in the anxiety level in the Mandala group ( Conclusions: The results indicated that holding six mandala coloring sessions reduced the anxiety of children with CF. Thus, mandala coloring is recommended as a complementary non-pharmacological method to reduce children's anxiety.
