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
Works of art can be extremely meaningful and important to people, and perhaps even more so when people consider themselves fans of a particular artist. In this paper, some of the thoughts and feelings of women fans of Bruce Springsteen are described and discussed, based on two large surveys of the fans. Some of the themes that emerged from the first survey are the relationship women have with Springsteen and his work, the meaning his work has for them, the ways in which his work has been helpful to them, the community of fans that exists, and the loss of longtime band member Clarence Clemons. Themes from the second survey include Springsteen's legacy, and the ongoing community, especially through the Covid pandemic. The importance of art, in this case, music, for people is emphasized, and suggestions for how psychology can become more involved in the intersection of art and personal growth, identity, well-being, and relationships are offered.
