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

This study examines the effects of various intervention types on stress levels, life satisfaction, and psychological well-being among participants following a six-week program. The final sample included 327 employees (aged 25-55) from a large company in Astana, Kazakhstan. Participants were assigned to one of three groups. Group A (n = 109) utilized Galaxy Watch5 smartwatches and the Samsung Health mobile application, attended hybrid functional training sessions, received individual psychological counseling, and participated in group art therapy sessions. Group B (n = 108) engaged in training sessions, counseling, and art therapy without the use of technology. Group C (n = 110) exclusively used smartwatches. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted using the perceived stress scale (PSS), the satisfaction with life scale (SWLS), and the WHO-5 well-being index. Repeated measures ANCOVA revealed significant time effects across all variables (PSS: η² = 0.21; SWLS: η² = 0.26; WHO-5: η² = 0.25) and significant group-by-time interactions (PSS: η² = 0.07; SWLS: η² = 0.06; WHO-5: η² = 0.09), with Group A showing the greatest improvements. The effects of gender and job position on the results were minimal. The findings underscore the importance of a comprehensive approach to enhancing well-being and stress management.
