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
Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the mental health of people all over the world. The distress tolerance of individuals may make them more resilient to negative emotions. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the mediating roles of hope and fear of COVID-19 in the relationship between gratitude and distress tolerance. Method: This study was designed as STROBE cross-sectional reporting guidelines, and included 440 health science students enrolled in a public university in Turkey. Participants completed the Gratitude Questionnaire-6, Distress Tolerance Scale, Hope Scale, and Fear of COVID-19 scale. Results: The direct link between gratitude and distress tolerance was not significant. Hope was positively associated with gratitude and distress tolerance, whereas fear of COVID-19 was negatively associated with gratitude, hope, and distress tolerance. Hope and fear of COVID-19 do not sequentially mediate the link between gratitude and distress tolerance. Conclusions: The positive relationship between gratitude and distress tolerance was mediated only by hope. The findings of our study are important as they emphasise that individuals with high dispositional gratitude and hope may improve their distress tolerance abilities. For dispositional gratitude to improve the ability to tolerate distress, additional efforts to provide individuals with this ability may be necessary.
