Article in BMC psychiatry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivePeople living with HIV (PLWH) are prone to mental health problems and evidence indicates that HIV-related stigma can negatively impact mental health-related quality of life. This study explored potential mechanisms between HIV-related stigma and mental health-related quality of life, specifically whether anxiety or depression mediates, and whether social support moderates, the relationship.
methodA total of 1197 Chinese PLWH participated in the study. The Berger HIV Stigma Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the 12-item Brief Health Survey (SF-12), and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) were employed.
resultsHIV-related stigma was negatively associated with mental health-related quality of life. Anxiety and depression partially mediated the relationship between HIV-related stigma and mental health-related quality of life; social support played a moderating role.
conclusionsThe mental health-related quality of life in PLWH was shown to be indirectly affected by HIV-related stigma through anxiety and depression in China. The negative impact of HIV-related stigma decreased with increased social support.
