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
objectivesFor youth with gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, mental health symptoms can exacerbate GI symptoms. In a cyclical fashion, experiencing GI symptoms at school can contribute to depression, anxiety, and embarrassment. This study evaluated the impact of school instruction type on mental health and GI symptoms for youth with GI conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodData were collected from caregivers and patients aged 8 to 17 years with inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and irritable bowel syndrome (N = 146) from September to December 2020. Patients completed measures of depression, anxiety, anger, and GI symptoms; caregivers provided their child's school instruction type (online, hybrid, or in-person). Analyses were conducted to examine the relations of mental health symptoms, GI symptoms, and school instruction type.
resultsParticipants generally had mild levels of depressive symptoms (T = 55.50), and anxiety (T = 53.02) and anger (T = 49.92) symptoms were within normal limits. Anxiety and GI symptoms were positively related ( b = 0.14, p < 0.01), and if participants were attending school online, they had worse GI symptoms ( b = 0.46, p < 0.05). However, there was no significant interaction between anxiety and instruction type. Depression and anger were not significantly related to GI symptoms and there were no significant interactions.
conclusionFor children with GI conditions during the pandemic, as their anxiety symptoms increased, so did their GI symptoms. Further research should examine the long-term effects of virtual learning for those with GI conditions.
