1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Although virtual reality (VR) programs are being developed by marginalized groups', a systemic power imbalance still exists. Marginalized groups have a place in digital wellbeing and can lead initiatives to access resources that they desire. To better support these efforts and mobilize knowledge among marginalized stakeholders, we conducted a scoping review of the use of VR for wellbeing. Adopting an equity lens that considers the experiences of intersectional marginalization, our aim was to identify VR programs, their targets, outcomes and equity-related facilitators and barriers. In May 2023, we conducted a comprehensive literature search of MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase and Web of Science databases and grey literature for
