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
Objectives: To develop and validate a standardized, de-pathologized Solution-Focused Group Therapy (SFGT) program specifically designed to address interpersonal dysfunctions among Chinese adolescents with anxiety and depression. Methods: A two-round Delphi method was employed to integrate multidisciplinary perspectives. An initial set of intervention components was developed based on the systematic literature review and semi-structured interviews with 10 frontline practitioners. This was followed by two iterative evaluation rounds involving a purposive panel of 20 experts in psychiatry, clinical psychology and education, all situated within the context of the high-pressure educational system in central China. Consensus was quantified using the expert positivity coefficient, authority coefficient ( Results: Both consultation rounds achieved a 100% response rate, yielding a high expert authority coefficient ( Conclusion: The developed SFGT program demonstrates preliminary content validity and theoretical plausibility. The protocol is hypothesized to activate therapeutic factors such as universality and corrective emotional experiences, which may contribute to reducing learned helplessness and mitigating social stigma among adolescents in the Chinese cultural context. However, empirical validation of these hypothesized mechanisms-including clinical efficacy, dose-response relationships, and long-term interpersonal outcomes-requires rigorous testing through multi-center randomized controlled trials and implementation studies.
