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: Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) promotes habituation in chronic tinnitus but is less effective in patients under psychological distress. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) offers an alternative by enhancing psychological flexibility rather than targeting symptom reduction. Case Presentation: Five patients with chronic tinnitus unresponsive to TRT completed the ACT program. Among them, four completed the 6-month follow-up and are presented in detail. While Case 1 was previously reported, this analysis includes all four to explore ACT's broader application. The intervention targeted ACT's six core processes. Outcomes were measured using the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire-7 (CFQ-7), Valuing Questionnaire (VQ), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). After 6 months, three patients showed a clinically meaningful THI reduction. Those without hearing loss improved more in CFQ-7 and HADS. VQ scores showed minimal change. Conclusion: ACT may help patients with TRT-resistant tinnitus, particularly those without hearing loss.
