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
The Multiple Family Group Therapy (MFGT) has demonstrated effectiveness in addressing behavioral problems and mental health disorders among adolescents in high-income settings. Limited evidence exists on whether the MFGT can be implemented successfully in Ghana and other SSA for adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV), given the contextual differences between Ghana and high-income countries. This study aimed to identify factors and processes from multiple stakeholders that can support a successful implementation of the MFGT intervention for ALHIV and their families in the Lower Manya Krobo District of Ghana. A qualitative exploratory study was conducted at Atua Government Hospital. Data were collected through focus group discussions with ALHIV (n = 12), caregivers (n = 13), and health professionals (n = 5), supplemented by three in-depth interviews (with ALHIV). Contextual thematic analysis was employed to identify patterns and themes within the data, with attention to rigor through triangulation, member checking, and reflexivity. Six key enablers for MFGT implementation emerged: (1) existing support systems and infrastructure, including established HIV programs and dedicated adolescent clinic days; (2) willingness of health workers to participate and sustain the intervention; (3) practical implementation considerations including scheduling preferences and privacy concerns; (4) participation support needs such as material and logistical support and preference for diverse educational approaches(5) content preferences emphasizing comprehensive topics beyond HIV management and interactive learning approaches. Five key enablers emerged for successful MFGT implementation. Implementation strategies should integrate MFGT into existing adolescent clinic days, provide transportation assistance and reminder systems, accommodate Sunday scheduling preferences, train diverse facilitators, including peer mentors, and incorporate spiritual elements while maintaining flexible group compositions based on discussion topics.
