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
Patients experiencing manic episodes often suffer from significant emotional instability, impairing treatment adherence and prolonging hospitalization. Nonpharmacological interventions such as music therapy may offer additional benefits. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of group music therapy combined with routine nursing on emotional stability, symptom severity, and patient satisfaction in inpatients with manic episodes. In this retrospective study, 102 inpatients diagnosed with manic episodes between January 2022 and December 2023 were enrolled and divided into a control group (n = 50) receiving routine nursing care and an observation group (n = 52) receiving additional group music therapy. Group music sessions were held 3 times weekly for 4 weeks. The Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), the Emotional Stability subscale of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ-ES), and patient satisfaction were assessed before and after intervention. Statistical comparisons were performed within and between groups. At baseline, there were no significant differences between groups in age, gender, illness duration, YMRS, or EPQ-ES scores. After intervention, the observation group showed significantly lower YMRS scores (15.2 ± 3.7 vs 21.6 ± 4.1, P < .001), higher EPQ-ES scores (28.5 ± 5.2 vs 22.3 ± 5.0, P < .001), and greater satisfaction (86.5% vs 64.0%, P = .012) compared to the control group. Group music therapy significantly enhances emotional stability and satisfaction among hospitalized manic patients. This intervention is a feasible and effective supplement to routine psychiatric nursing care.
