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
backgroundDiabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common and significant complication of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM), frequently resulting in increased physiological suffering and emotional burden. Music therapy, as a complementary intervention, has shown potential in lowering stress and improving general well-being, but its influence on patients with DFU is unknown. The present study aimed to identify the impact of music therapy on diabetes distress and bio-physiological parameters among patients with DFU. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The study was conducted in a selected tertiary care hospital in South India, and a Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group research design was used. A non-probability purposive sampling was used to select 159 participants with DFU into three groups: Group I (n = 53) received patient-selected music therapy, Group II (n = 53) received researcher-selected music, and the control group (n = 53) received routine treatment only. The intervention involved listening to music for 20 minutes twice daily over 21 consecutive days, along with standard medical care. Ethical clearance was obtained from the institutional review board and ethics committee. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 26.
resultsThe study shows a statistically significant (p ˂ 0.001) difference within Groups I, II, compared to the control group for diabetes distress and all the bio-physiological parameters. However, the mean posttest scores of diabetes distress and bio-physiological parameters in Groups I and II were considerably reduced from the mean pretest scores compared to the control group.
conclusionThe study finding helps to integrate music therapy as a complementary therapy for people with DFU to preserve good physical and mental health.
