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
As depressive symptoms among adolescents continue to rise, increasing attention has been directed toward educational contexts that may support psychological well-being. Augmented reality, characterized by immersive, interactive, and multisensory affordances, has been increasingly incorporated into fine arts education. However, it remains insufficiently understood how adolescents' perceived AR-based fine arts education experiences are associated with psychological resilience, emotional regulation, perceived reduction in rumination, and perceived reduction in depressive symptoms. Using post-course self-report questionnaire data from 518 Chinese adolescents, this study tested a cross-sectional associational model with structural equation modeling, without making causal or clinical claims. The empirical results indicate that adolescents' perceived AR-based fine arts education experiences were positively associated with self-reported perceived reduction in depressive symptoms. Additionally, these experiences were positively associated with self-reported psychological resilience and perceived reduction in rumination. Self-reported psychological resilience and perceived reduction in rumination were positively associated with self-reported emotional regulation, and this regulation was positively associated with self-reported perceived reduction in depressive symptoms. These findings support a correlational psychological model linking perceived AR-based fine arts education experiences with adolescents' self-reported psychological perceptions and perceived reduction in depressive symptoms. Theoretically, this study contributes to the literature on arts education, educational technology, and adolescent mental health. Practically, the findings suggest that immersive art-learning environments may be perceived by adolescents as supportive contexts for psychological resources. The innovation of this study lies in reframing AR-based fine arts education experiences as psychologically meaningful educational experiences associated with adolescents' self-reported psychological perceptions.
