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
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of receptive music therapy (RMT) combined with usual nursing care on cognitive performance, quality of life (QoL), mood, and metabolic stability among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cognitive impairment. Methods: A randomized controlled trial enrolled 80 participants (aged 65-80 years) with T2DM and mild cognitive impairment. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to an intervention group (RMT + usual nursing care, Results: Seventy-five participants completed the study (retention = 93.7%). Compared with the control group, the intervention group showed a significant improvement in MoCA scores (Cohen's Conclusion: RMT integrated with standard nursing care significantly improved cognition, mood, and QoL in elderly patients with T2DM and cognitive impairment without affecting metabolic stability. These results support RMT as a safe, inexpensive, and feasible adjunct to conventional geriatric diabetes management, offering a holistic nursing approach to enhance mental and emotional well-being.
