1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To explore the impact of Solution-Focused Group Therapy on peer friendship quality in adolescents with anxiety disorders. Methods: Eighty adolescent patients (aged 12-18) with anxiety disorders treated at the hospital outpatient department from September 2024 to October 2025 were selected. According to the principle of random allocation, they were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The control group received conventional medication and psychological interventions. The experimental group additionally received 8-week, short-term Solution-Focused Group Therapy (one 90-min session per week). Statistical analysis was performed using the Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24), and Friendship Quality Questionnaire (FQQ) to assess patients' mental health status and friendship quality before intervention (Week 0), after intervention (Week 8), and at an 8-week follow-up (Week 16). Results: Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in scores between the groups ( Conclusion: Solution-Focused Group Therapy may effectively enhance peer friendship quality in adolescent patients with anxiety disorders and simultaneously alleviate their anxiety and depressive symptoms.
