Trial report in European journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06595173 (Therapeutic Artistic Activities in Adolescent with Diabetes), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.

Abstract
A parallel-group, randomized controlled design was implemented in this study to examine the effectiveness of therapeutic art activities for adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The study was conducted at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital between November 2023 and August 2024 with 72 adolescents aged 9-18 (36 intervention, 36 control). The intervention group participated in 6 weeks of therapeutic art activities, while the control group received standard care. Therapeutic artistic activities included Zentangle, mandala painting, third-person drawing techniques, and the awareness of four-leaf clover. Sessions were held one-on-one via WhatsApp. The State Anxiety Inventory and Psychological Well-Being Scale were administered at the beginning and end of the study. After the therapeutic program, the mean state anxiety score of adolescents in the intervention group (32.19 ± 2.75) was significantly lower than in the control group (45.13 ± 4.84). Additionally, at the end of the program, the mean psychological well-being score of adolescents in the intervention group (48.52 ± 5.30) was significantly higher than that of the control group (33.41 ± 9.83) (p < 0.05).
conclusionIt was concluded that therapeutic art activities were effective in reducing anxiety and improving psychological well-being in adolescents with diabetes. It is recommended that therapeutic art activities be integrated into the care programs for children with diabetes.
