Synthesis in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe psychosocial correlates of quality-of-life (QoL) research in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are important in identifying risk and protective factors that may account for the QoL variability. Thus, the present study provides a meta-analysis of these research results.
methodsPublished studies reporting associations between any psychosocial factors and QoL were retrieved from Medline, Embase, and PsycINFO. Mean effect sizes were calculated for the associations across psychosocial constructs (affect, stress, cognitive appraisal, social support, personality attributes, and coping process). Multiple hierarchical meta-regressions were applied to moderator analyses.
resultsEighty-one studies covering a combined sample of 13,240 participants were identified resulting in 377 effect sizes of the association between psychosocial factors and QoL. The overall effect size of the association was medium (0.38). Stress, affect, and cognitive appraisal had the largest effect sizes. Location of study, dialysis type, gender, age and QoL domains measured (general well-being, subjective QoL, and health-related QoL) were significant substantive moderators for the associations.
conclusionsThe present study shows that there is a moderate association between psychosocial variables and QoL in patients with ESRD, consistent across different QoL domains. The psychosocial constructs that have the strongest association with QoL are stress, affect, and cognitive appraisal.
