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
backgroundThe experience of flourishing (i.e. high wellbeing) is informing our understanding of psychological health beyond psychopathology.
aimsThis study examines whether community members define their sense of flourishing in terms of the presence of wellbeing and/or the absence of psychopathology.
methodsParticipants (
resultsWellbeing statements were the most frequently endorsed items for example, 'Feeling calm and peaceful', 'Life is valuable and worthwhile', 'Having people who care' and 'Feeling positive about oneself', but they were only endorsed by approximately 35% to 38% of respondents. Three pathology items were amongst the top 10 items endorsed.
conclusionsThat not one indicator was endorsed by the majority of respondents suggests that flourishing definitions of positive mental health need to be defined by both the presence of wellbeing and absence of psychopathology. Notably, there were few between-nation differences in items endorsed, and those differences reported were not of a large magnitude suggesting consistency in the endorsement of indicators between nations.
