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

backgroundUsing a preventative approach, we investigated whether international subjective qualities of life are associated with resilience to adversity when culture is taken into account. Although resilience has been previously associated with good QoL, cross-cultural studies are scarce.

methodsSequential linear multiple regression models of WHOQOL SRPB data from 15 countries worldwide (

resultsThe final model explained 52% of resilience overall, of which QoL explained 37% and culture explained 12% (

conclusionA new cross-cultural psycho-spiritual model of resilience is presented. Assessing individual QoL profiles could identify suitable community members to build resilience locally in culturally acceptable styles. The WHOQOL SRPB evidence could inform international policy designed to prepare vulnerable cultures that are threatened with environmental and health disasters.
