1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This article provides a comprehensive review of the application and recent advances of sandplay therapy in pediatric rehabilitation. It critically examines empirical evidence supporting its clinical efficacy in alleviating psychological trauma, ameliorating emotional and behavioral dysregulation, fostering social competence, and facilitating cognitive development. Furthermore, the review evaluates current implementation patterns, identifies key methodological and practical limitations, and outlines emerging directions for research and clinical integration-thereby offering a robust theoretical and evidence-informed foundation for refining and scaling sandplay interventions in child rehabilitation settings.
