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
Persistent anxiety impairs quality of life and calls for approaches beyond symptom reduction. The Positive Mental Health framework expands this perspective by emphasizing subjective, psychological, and social dimensions of well-being. This research aimed to examine how psychologists working in Spanish public health services perceive the well-being of patients with anxiety, focusing specifically on clinicians' interpretations rather than patients' self-reports. This qualitative, exploratory study used semi-structured interviews to investigate these perceptions, gathering accounts from psychologists employed in public health centers across Spain. Twelve professionals, mostly from the Valencian Community, participated in semi-structured interviews conducted predominantly in an asynchronous online format. Data were analyzed using thematic-categorical content analysis and subsequently organized into two analytical axes comprising eleven categories. The first axis, general perspectives, encompassed: characteristics of patients and society; risk factors; types and symptoms of anxiety; and professional practice. The second axis, well-being, comprised the categories Presence of Subjective Well-Being (SWB), Absence of SWB, Presence of Social Well-Being (SoWB), Absence of SoWB, Presence of Psychological Well-Being (PWB), and Absence of PWB. While difficulties across well-being domains were prevalent, some accounts showed signs of flourishing. Beyond symptom-focused care, participants described strategies to foster positive functioning. The findings highlight the need for clinical practices that combine empathic listening with active promotion of well-being, acknowledging social influences. Flourishing may emerge even in distress when supported by connection, purpose, and public commitment to mental health.
