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
objectiveThis study aims to establish a psychological intervention program for elderly patients with chronic diseases based on the theory of empowerment.
methodsThrough literature review, current situation surveys, and group discussions, we drafted the initial version of a psychological intervention program based on the empowerment theory. The final version of the program was developed through two rounds of Delphi expert consultations via letters.
resultsThe response rates for two rounds both were 100% (n = 19), with an authority coefficient of 0.87. The coefficients of variation ranged from 0.05 to 0.24, and the Kendall's W coefficient was 0.123 (P < 0.001). Ultimately, an index system comprising 7 primary items, 25 secondary items, and 98 tertiary items was established.
conclusionThe psychological intervention program for elderly patients with chronic diseases based on empowerment theory is scientifically sound, specific and practical. It can provide valuable references for the psychological care of elderly patients with chronic diseases and the improvement of their self-management strategies.
