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.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is designed to reduce self-criticism and enhance emotional regulation and has shown promise in supporting perinatal populations. This study aimed to evaluate an online group CFT intervention delivered in an MMHS for individuals after perinatal loss. The study includes data from seven groups. In total, 30 women attended a 10-week CFT for perinatal loss psychological intervention group. The group was facilitated online and included psychoeducation and CFT skills to support with perinatal grief. Participants completed a range of self-report measures pre- and post-intervention that assessed self-criticism and self-compassion, symptoms of perinatal grief, psychological distress, and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms. Participants demonstrated statistically significant improvements across all outcome measures following the intervention. Psychological distress decreased (
