RETRACTION: Amelioration of Adults' Mental Health Conditions and Symptoms Through Spiritual Energy Therapy: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Neuropsychopharmacology reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
retractionM. K. Trivedi, A. Branton, D. Trivedi, S. Mondal and S. Jana, "Amelioration of Adults' Mental Health Conditions and Symptoms Through Spiritual Energy Therapy: Randomized Controlled Trial," Neuropsychopharmacology Reports 45, no. 3 (2025): e70050, https://doi.org/10.1002/npr2.70050. The above article, published online on 10 September 2025 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Tsuyoshi Miyakawa; The Japanese Society of Neuropsychopharmacology; and John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd. The retraction has been agreed upon as a similar version of this article by the same authors was previously retracted by the Journal of General and Family Medicine (https://doi.org/10.1002/jgf2.773). Although revisions have been made, the article does not adequately address the previously identified concerns. In particular, issues regarding the appropriateness of the control group and the psychological questionnaire scoring method remain unresolved. Additionally, some biomarker values remain implausible without sufficient justification and claims regarding the efficacy of spiritual energy therapy continue to lack independent supporting evidence. The editors agree the results and conclusions are unreliable. The authors disagree with the retraction.
