Article in Omega, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Many people living with HIV (PLWH) experience death anxiety and depression, which may impact negatively on their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Mindfulness is a psychological resource that protects against death anxiety and depression and promotes HRQoL. Although a direct association among these variables exist, little is known about their interactive effect. This study examined the role of PLWH mindfulness in the relationship between (a) death anxiety and HRQoL, and (b) depression and HRQoL. Participants included 311 HIV patients (199 women, 122 men, mean age = 30.52) selected from a tertiary healthcare institution in Nigeria. They completed relevant measures. Results showed that mindfulness moderated the effect of death anxiety on HRQoL. Mindfulness also buffered the effect of depression on HRQoL. Clinical efforts to improve HRQoL of PLWH should consider mindfulness-based training program due to its potentials in mitigating the effects of death anxiety and depression on health and recovery.
