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
In recent years, well-being research has expanded beyond traditional dimensions, recognizing that a fulfilling life may encompass more than happiness and meaning. We examined the unique contributions of a newly proposed dimension of well-being-psychological richness-to mental, social, and physical health outcomes alongside the established dimensions of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. We assessed well-being using validated scales that measure life satisfaction, meaning in life, and psychological richness and analyzed data from 11,041 participants. We evaluated health outcomes across mental, social, and physical dimensions using the Subjective Well-being Inventory. Our findings revealed that life satisfaction and meaning in life consistently enhanced health outcomes across most domains. However, psychological richness exhibited a more nuanced profile. Specifically, psychological richness was strongly correlated with positive mental and social health indicators, such as confidence in coping and perceived social support, but also uniquely linked to social isolation and perceived physical symptoms. These results suggest that psychological richness fosters cognitive resilience and social engagement despite potential physical health and social connectedness trade-offs. Notably, individuals high in psychological richness did not report heightened negative emotions, even when experiencing social isolation or physical discomfort, aligning this dimension with other forms of well-being. This study identified psychological richness as an essential addition to well-being models, offering fresh perspectives for tailored well-being interventions.
