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

Background: Children exposed to traumatic events frequently develop emotion dysregulation and impaired social adaptation, which severely impairs their psychosocial development. As a non-invasive, well-tolerated psychological intervention, trauma-informed music intervention yields promising therapeutic gains for traumatized children's emotional and social functioning. Nevertheless, high-quality quantitative clinical trials remain lacking to corroborate its clinical efficacy. Methods: This randomized controlled trial recruited 120 trauma-exposed children hospitalized in our institution between January 2024 and June 2025, randomly allocated to an intervention group ( Results: At post-intervention, the intervention group demonstrated substantially higher ERQ-C total scores (48.72 ± 6.35 vs. 35.18 ± 7.24) and SSIS total social skills scores (52.41 ± 7.03 vs. 39.27 ± 6.89) relative to the control group ( Conclusion: Trauma-informed music intervention improves emotion regulation and social functioning, and mitigates internalizing symptoms among children with pediatric trauma exposure. The intervention delivers durable therapeutic effects with satisfactory safety profiles, and can serve as a valid non-pharmacological adjunct for psychological rehabilitation of traumatized children.
