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
introductionMental health providers frequently face challenging working conditions and professional stress related to exposure to clients' emotional suffering and traumatic experiences. These challenges contribute to high levels of compassion fatigue among providers and highlight the need to understand factors that may support mental health professionals' own wellbeing. One such factor may be psychological flexibility.
methodsThe current study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of one measure of psychological flexibility, the Finnish translation of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II) among mental health providers and trainees. Utilising a cross-sectional design, the study examined the factor structure and convergent validity with compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction (ProQOL), as well as divergent validity with social desirability (SDRS-5).
resultsThe results supported the use of the AAQ-II-FV as a one-factor measure of psychological flexibility, showing excellent internal consistency. The AAQ-II-FV demonstrated significant convergent validity with compassion satisfaction and secondary traumatic stress, but not with burnout. Divergent validity was established with no significant correlation to social desirability. DISCUSSION: These findings suggest that the AAQ-II-FV is a reliable measure of psychological flexibility among mental health providers and trainees.
