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
Introduction: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a severe medical problem that affects ethnic minority young adults. An internet-based self-help program integrating acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and behavioral activation (BA) was found promising. However, such integration has never been applied to people with AUD. Therefore, developing and testing this integration was warranted. Objectives: This study aimed to develop and test an internet-based self-help program integrating ACT and BA among ethnic minority young adults with AUD. Method: Four distinct phases were employed, including preparing self-help intervention content, expert panel review, developing an online intervention using Qualtrics, and usability testing. A total of 10 ethnic minority young adults with AUD were recruited for the usability test. Descriptive statistics and a one-sample t-test were employed to determine usability. Result: A total of 10 participants were invited to participate in the study, with a completion rate of 90%. The overall usability score was 74.72 (SD = 4.75). About 88.9% of participants found the intervention helpful, easy to navigate, and clear content and instructions. Participants spent about 10-30 minutes per module. Almost all participants received one reminder per module for completion. However, three participants experienced device incompatibility, internet interruptions, and login failures. Conclusion: A new internet-based self-help ACT-BA intervention was developed and tested. The findings showed an excellent usability score. Future interventions will consider simple plain language over technical terms and incorporate withdrawal symptom management. Besides, conducting a brief session during recruitment to guide participants and sending a reminder, especially on holidays and weekends, is warranted.
