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
backgroundObesity is common among children and adolescents and leads to unpleasant consequences for them. Unified transdiagnostic therapy as an emotion-based therapy has many applications in the field of emotional disorders, and its effectiveness has been investigated in various fields. Since obesity also involves emotional issues, this research is intended for the purpose to investigate the effectiveness of this treatment on negative affect, anxiety, and emotion regulation problems in obese children. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe present study is a controlled clinical trial and was conducted in 2023. Forty children with obesity have been selected using the convenience sample method and randomly assigned to two experiential and control groups in a randomized controlled trial and assessor blinded study. For 8 weeks, the experiential group participated in a transdiagnostic treatment session lasting approximately 2 months; each session will last for 90 min. Participants from both the experiential and control groups completed Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for children, Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children, and Emotion Regulation Checklist as a pretest and posttest. Participants completed study questionnaires before treatment, immediately after, and at a follow-up 2-4 months later. A statistical method was used for the analysis of variance.
resultsIn the experiential group, anxiety, negative affects and difficulties in emotion regulation significantly decreased (
conclusionThe results have shown that a unified transdiagnosis therapy is an efficient in reducing negative effects, anxiety, and difficulties in emotion regulation. Since childhood obesity has unpleasant psychological consequences, psychological interventions to reduce its effects should be considered.
