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
In the face of global demographic shifts, it is crucial to adopt sustainable solutions that support active and healthy aging. Engagement in creative activities, such as crafts, may positively affect the social determinants of health by promoting mental, physical, and social well-being. While the use of crafts as therapeutic interventions is well documented, research on crafts as a professional activity remains limited, especially among older adults and across different sectors. This multi-methods study combined quantitative data analysis with qualitative exploration of individual narratives to examine how older professional artisans in a UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art in Portugal perceive the impact of craftwork on their health and well-being. Fifty-five artisans aged 55 and older took part in walking interviews in their ateliers and completed health and quality of life (QoL) scales (PHQ-8 and WHOQOL-BREF). Thematic content analysis was performed by two independent coders. Participants were 60% men (
