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
Aim: To develop and conduct a preliminary evaluation of a digital salutogenic intervention-"Towards the Sun"-aimed at enhancing sense of coherence (SOC) and improving health outcomes among newly diagnosed HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods: The initial intervention draft was developed using the systematic Intervention Mapping (IM) process, informed by preliminary research, literature review, and evidence-based needs assessment. Two rounds of expert panel review were then conducted to refine the draft, followed by a feasibility assessment among newly diagnosed HIV-positive MSM. Results: The final digital intervention consisted of a five-stage, eight-week program, focusing on stress management, resource activation, and meaning exploration to strengthen the three dimensions of SOC. After review by 8 experts, the mean importance ratings of the intervention items were all above 4 and the coefficients of variation (CV) were less than 0.20, indicating consensus. A pilot study involving 7 newly diagnosed MSM demonstrated feasibility: SOC-13 scores increased, levels of stress and depression decreased, and participants reported high satisfaction with the overall content, especially the modules on self-acceptance and resource orientation. Conclusion: This digital salutogenic intervention demonstrated good feasibility, user acceptance, and preliminary effectiveness among newly diagnosed HIV-positive MSM. As a strengths-based and innovative digital solution, it warrants further validation and dissemination in larger samples and randomized controlled designs. Reporting Guidelines: The study followed the TIDieR (Template for Intervention Description and Replication) Checklist.
