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
Mental health concerns remain a major public health challenge, while artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools are increasingly used to obtain mental health-related information. However, little is known about the relationship between AI use and professional psychological help-seeking intentions, particularly among Saudi women.

An online questionnaire assessed AI use for mental health information, confidence in AI-provided information, perceived barriers to professional help-seeking, and professional psychological help-seeking intentions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. AI use was negatively correlated with professional psychological help-seeking intentions (r = -0.45,
