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
backgroundLong-term hemodialysis significantly impacts the lives of patients and their families, creating a range of psychosocial and economic challenges. Social support and resilience are critical in enabling patients to navigate these difficulties and restore balance. This study investigated the relationship between perceived social support and resilience in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
methodsThis inferential cross-sectional study was conducted from April to July 2022, involving patients undergoing hemodialysis at two major centers in western Iran. Three hundred patients were selected through convenience sampling based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were gathered using a demographic information form, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 24 software, employing descriptive and analytical statistical methods.
resultsThe results indicated a significant positive correlation between perceived social support and patients' resilience (r = 0.391, p = 0.001). Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that resilience was significantly associated with perceived social support (β = 0.384, p = 0.001), educational level (β = 0.151, p = 0.018), marital status (β = 0.139, p = 0.036), gender (β = 0.134, p = 0.014), and income level (β = 0.128, p = 0.025).
conclusionThe study findings demonstrate a strong positive correlation between perceived social support and resilience in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Therefore, health professionals are recommended to enhance resilience through psychosocial interventions (e.g., support groups and counseling) and family empowerment models.
