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.

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
Objective: To explore the association pathway between daily participation in music practice and mental health indicators, focusing on analyzing the cross-sectional network relationships among performing flow experience, social connectedness, perceived stress, and anxiety among individuals with piano experience. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey design was adopted, yielding a total of 890 valid questionnaires. Based on the presence or absence of piano practice experience, the sample was divided into two questionnaire coding groups: Group Results: (1) The social connectedness of Group Conclusion: The relationship between flow experience and lower stress or anxiety in piano practice is not a simple direct mapping, but constitute a specific cross-sectional statistical association pathway through the potential joint transformation of social connectedness and perceived stress. The results provide empirical clues for exploring the associations between daily arts participation and mental health.
