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: Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients face substantial psychological challenges that impacting their overall quality of life. Flourishing, a concept within positive psychology, refers to a state of mental well-being and personal growth. Despite its importance, the factors influencing flourishing in MHD patients remain underexplored. Aim: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess flourishing levels among MHD patients in Shanghai, China, and identify sociodemographic, disease-related, and psychological factors associated with flourishing, with implications for targeted interventions. Method: From October to November 2022, 376 MHD patients across four hospitals completed validated scales measuring flourishing (PERMA Profiler), personality traits (TIPI-C), regulatory emotional self-efficacy (RES), perceived social support (PSSS), and quality of life (EQ-5D). Statistical analyses, including regression analysis, were used to identify factors associated with flourishing. Results: The mean flourishing score was 6.28 ± 1.763, indicating moderate levels compared to general populations. Full-time employment (β = 0.749, p = 0.033), retirement (β = 0.675, p = 0.043), social support from friends/others (β = 0.039, p < 0.001), conscientiousness (β = 0.133, p < 0.001), and better quality of life (β = 1.281, p = 0.001) emerged as significant positive predictors. Conversely, longer dialysis duration (ρ = -0.135, p = 0.009) and higher perceived disease impact (β = -0.084, p = 0.268) were negatively associated with flourishing. Conclusions: The findings highlight the complex interplay between sociodemographic, disease-related, and psychological factors in influencing the flourishing of MHD patients. The level of flourishing in MHD patients' needs to be improved. Developing targeted interventions based on these relevant factors improves quality of life and thus contributes significantly to the well-being of MHD patients.
