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
This research examines the reconceptualization of the contemporary psychologist's role through an integrative epistemological approach that reconciles dual specialization in behavior and humanity. The analysis begins with the historical tension between explanation (erklären) and understanding (verstehen) in psychology, identifying how this epistemological dichotomy has systematically fragmented disciplinary identity. Through systematic review of phenomenological, existential, humanistic, transpersonal, and liberation traditions, we develop the Scientific-Humanistic Complementarity Principle (SHCP) as a theoretical framework for integrated psychological praxis. This construct presents transversal implications for academic training, empirical research, and professional intervention. Within the Latin American context, this proposal constitutes an epistemological vindication rooted in the Global South, oriented toward systematic articulation of scientific rigor with ethical understanding and human dignity. The resulting model seeks to establish scientifically rigorous psychology without compromising humanistic commitment, responding to contemporary complexity through preservation of technical rigor and existential depth.
