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
Introduction: This study explored the application of dance/movement therapy (DMT), a therapeutic method originating from the West, in the treatment of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in China. Specifically, it examined how these children's parents understood and perceived DMT. Methods: A descriptive qualitative research design was employed. Five Chinese parents of children with ASD participated. Data were collected through three sources: videos of sessions, in-depth interviews, and movement interviews. Data analysis involved coding and categorization, resulting in 158 codes, 48 subcategories, and 14 categories. Results: Five main themes were identified: (1) Facing the Unknown but Willing to Try, (2) Observing Embodied Communication and Emotional Growth, (3) Witnessing an Unexpected Therapeutic Relationship, (4) Seeing Therapy Extend into Daily Life, and (5) Reflecting on Parenting and Family Changes. Discussion: The findings provide foundational insights into how parents of children with ASD perceive DMT in the Chinese cultural context. These results highlight the potential for implementing and promoting DMT in China based on parental perspectives.
