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
backgroundPatients suffering from schizophrenia experience significant impairments in emotional, cognitive, and social functioning, leading to reduced resilience and self-efficacy along with increased feelings of interpersonal guilt. Although pharmacological interventions help in reducing the symptoms, the existential aspects of the healing process can go unattended. The aim of the current research was to understand the effectiveness of logotherapy-based psychoeducational program on interpersonal guilt, self-efficacy, and resilience in schizophrenia patients.
methodsIn this quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study, the effectiveness of a logotherapy-based psychoeducational program was tested using a seven-week, 13-session program, administered to 45 stable patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Arabic-validated instruments were used to measure resilience, self-efficacy, and interpersonal guilt.
resultsThe results showed that there were significant increases in the variables of resilience, t (44) = 4.956, p < .001, Cohen's d = 0.74, and self-efficacy, t (44) = 6.075, p < .001, Cohen's d = 0.91, after the completion of the intervention. The results also revealed that interpersonal guilt failed to achieve statistical significance, t (44) = 1.388, p = .172, Cohen's d = 0.21, after the completion of the intervention. There was a strong positive relationship between the variables of resiliency and self-efficacy, r = .749, p < .001. There were no significant relationships between the variables of resiliency and interpersonal guilt, or between the variables of self-efficacy and interpersonal guilt.
conclusionsMeaning-centered interventions seem to be a valuable tool in boosting adaptive psychological resources, such as resilience and self-efficacy, in people with schizophrenia. The failure to improve interpersonal guilt suggests that the problem could need a considerably different type of therapeutic approach that focuses on metacognitive issues. The integration of existentially oriented psychoeducation in the treatment appears potentially valuable in assisting the patient in finding their personal meaning, in conjunction with other treatments. The long-term stability and the combination with other treatments in order to approach the issue of interpersonal guilt could be the next step in researching these issues.
