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/
objectivesChronic non-malignant pain (CNMP) affects 46.4% of adults in Saudi Arabia and often requires interdisciplinary care, including mental health services. Despite this need, mental health integration remains limited. This study explored healthcare providers' perceptions of integrating mental health services into CNMP management and identified barriers and facilitators to interdisciplinary collaboration.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 114 healthcare providers across Saudi Arabia. Using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF), domains such as knowledge, skills, beliefs about capabilities and consequences, reinforcement, and social influences were assessed. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and multiple regression.
resultsPositive perceptions of mental health integration were significantly associated with beliefs about capabilities (r = 0.31,
conclusionConfidence in professional abilities and recognition of the benefits of collaboration are key drivers of positive perceptions toward mental health integration in CNMP care. Interventions that enhance provider confidence, emphasize interdisciplinary benefits, and strengthen organizational support may improve engagement with mental healthcare services in Saudi Arabia.
