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
backgroundHemodialysis impacts the quality of life of patients with end-stage renal disease. Particularly, depression is the most common psychological condition among patients. Self-care self-efficacy might play an important role in quality of life of patients with hemodialysis.
objectiveThis study was designed to explore the relationships among self-care self-efficacy, depression, and quality of life. The second aim was to explore the extent to which self-care self-efficacy and depression explain the variance in quality of life of patients on hemodialysis.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 127 patients receiving hemodialysis and used the Short Form 36 Health Survey, the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health, and the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 to evaluate quality of life, self-care self-efficacy, and depression. Data was analyzed using independent t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation and hierarchical multiple regression.
resultsThe findings indicated that self-care self-efficacy was significantly positively correlated (PCS r = .533, p < 0.001, MCS r = .47, p < .001) and depression was significantly negatively correlated (PCS r = -.446, p < .001, MCS r = -.605, p < .001) with the two quality of life components. Self-care self-efficacy and depression were significant predictors of the physical (R2inc = 0.09, β = -0.38, p<0.001, R2inc = 0.12, β = -0.22, p<0.001) and mental (R2inc = 0.04%, β = -0.25, p<0.001, R2inc = 0.33, β = -0.51, p<0.001) quality of life of hemodialysis patients.
conclusionsHealth professionals may target improving self-care self-efficacy and reducing depressive symptoms to enhance patient quality of life.
