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.

Background: The war in Ukraine, starting on February 24, 2022, shocked Lithuanians who actively support Ukraine and who are still experiencing the threat of an extended war. Adolescents are a sensitive group in society. They go through many changes at their age and are in the process of revealing their feelings and forming their worldviews.

Therefore, it is crucial to research and monitor their emotional health, discuss things with teenagers, and provide them with a possibility to share their views, thoughts, perceptions, fears, and feelings.
