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
Background: This study investigates the therapeutic potential of the Portuguese Azulejo craft within an Arts on Prescription framework, focusing on how sensory engagement across creative stages supports the regulation of a positive emotional state, suggesting a potential U-shaped trajectory (with calming early phases and a spike of excitement in the final phase) in Portuguese Azulejo workshops. Furthermore, the study suggests a preliminary empirical relationship between MBTI personality types and color-emotion associations. Results demonstrate that multisensory engagement enhances positive affect, well-being, cultural cognition, and culture preservation intent, establishing a cognition-emotion-behaviour model for cross-cultural art interventions. Methods: Twenty-five participants (Mean age = 34.25) took part in a cross-cultural summer workshop. Emotional states were measured pre- and post-workshop using the Cultural Cognition and Culture Preservation intent, the Subjective Happiness Scale, and the PANAS. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test assessed changes in emotion ( Results: Post-intervention, participants demonstrated significant improvements in cultural cognition ( Discussion: The study underscores the therapeutic value of multisensory craft experiences, particularly the role of tactile-visual synergy in emotional regulation. Cross-cultural craft workshops support cognitive engagement, emotional well-being, and protective behaviors, highlighting their potential as group-based therapeutic interventions.
