Trial report in Medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis study aims to investigate the effects of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on enhancing psychological resilience, psychological flexibility, caregiving capacity, and benefit-finding among caregivers of ostomy patients.
methodsA total of 106 primary caregivers of ostomy patients were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Wuhan. Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention or control group in a 1:1 ratio using a computer-generated random sequence. Allocation was concealed using sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes prepared by a researcher not involved in recruitment or intervention delivery. The control group received standard nursing care, while the intervention group was provided with ACT in addition to standard care over a period of 12 weeks. The study utilized the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), Family Caregiving Task Inventory (FCTI), and Benefit Finding Scale to assess the outcomes before and after the intervention in both groups.
resultsPost-intervention analysis showed that the intervention group had significantly lower AAQ-II scores and FCTI scores compared with the control group (AAQ-II: 19.57 ± 7.78 vs 24.04 ± 8.39; FCTI: 7.75 ± 3.69 vs 12.57 ± 6.76; P < .05), indicating improved psychological flexibility and caregiving ability. In contrast, the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher psychological resilience and benefit-finding scores compared with the control group (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale: 24.94 ± 7.69 vs 20.89 ± 6.66; Benefit Finding Scale: 86.58 ± 7.47 vs 78.75 ± 8.12; P < .05).
conclusionACT was associated with improvements in psychological resilience, psychological flexibility, caregiving ability, and benefit finding among primary caregivers of ostomy patients. These findings suggest that ACT may be a useful supportive intervention for improving caregivers' psychological adaptation and caregiving capacity.
