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
introductionHospitalization can generate stress and anxiety and lead to depression. Music therapy has been used in hospital environments to promote patient well-being. However, scarce research has examined heterogeneous groups using the single-session format. This controlled clinical trial aimed to compare the effects of three methods of single-session music therapy on reducing anxiety and depression in hospitalized adult patients with diverse endocrine disorders.
methodParticipants (n = 222) were non-randomly distributed into three experimental music therapy groups (compositional, songwriting, and receptive) and a control group. The instruments used were the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS; pre-and post-test).
resultsThe experimental groups presented a statistically significant decrease in the HADS scores (p < 0.05) compared with the control group. Participants in the experimental groups reported an enhancement in well-being. DISCUSSION: Single-session music therapy interventions, mainly the receptive method, had a positive impact on reducing anxiety and depression in a heterogeneous group of hospitalized adult patients with endocrinopathies.
