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, the role of flourishing in mental health has gained growing recognition, making the establishment of psychometrically and culturally validated instruments crucial for advancing theory and practice. The aim of this study is twofold: first, to adapt the Multidimensional Flourishing Scale for use in Turkey and investigate its psychometric properties; second, to explore the interrelationships between indicators of flourishing and psychological distress symptoms using network analysis. A total of 529 undergraduate students, comprising 316 females (59.7%) and 213 males (40.3%), with a mean age of 21.65 years (SD = 1.67), participated in the study. The Multidimensional Flourishing Scale, the Flourishing Scale, and the Kessler Distress Scale (K10) were utilized for data collection. Confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and the EBICglasso algorithm for network analyses were performed. The findings revealed that the Turkish version of the Multidimensional Flourishing Scale demonstrated a three-dimensional structure consistent with its original version, with satisfactory psychometric properties, including structural and convergent validity as well as reliability. Domain-level network analysis demonstrated that psychological well-being emerged as the most central node within the network, closely followed by psychological distress. Additionally, psychological distress was negatively associated with all domains of flourishing. At the item level, two symptoms of psychological distress, feeling depressed and feeling restless or fidgety, as well as three indicators of flourishing, feeling positive, feeling happy, and perceiving life as full of meaning, emerged as the most central nodes. These findings provide valuable insights into the central features of flourishing and psychological distress, which could potentially guide clinical practice. Further discussion and implications are elaborated upon in the study.
