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
objectiveTo examine the characteristics associated with happiness in Japanese individuals with schizophrenia.
methodsA self-reported online survey was conducted in 2022 among individuals aged 20-75 years, including 223 and 1776 individuals with and without schizophrenia, respectively. We used a modified Poisson regression to assess the factors associated with happiness by calculating the age- and sex-adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs). We examined within-schizophrenia group differences by age and sex strata, and compared these stratified PRs between groups with and without schizophrenia.
resultsAmong participants with schizophrenia, happiness was significantly associated with self-rated health status (PR = 1.75), Ikigai (PR = 5.02), depressive symptoms (PR = 0.43), perceived stress (PR = 0.52), cognitive social capital (PR = 2.07), structural social capital (PR = 1.70), social support (PR = 2.40), close friends (PR = 1.88), close relatives (PR = 2.34), and a cohabiting partner (PR = 1.57). Within the schizophrenia group, sex differences were significant for cognitive social capital (men: PR = 3.45; women: PR = 1.43) and cohabiting partners (men: PR = 2.26; women: PR = 1.25), whereas no significant age differences were found. Factors demonstrating a stronger association in participants with schizophrenia than in those without schizophrenia included: Ikigai (with, PR = 5.02; without, PR = 2.91), cognitive social capital (with, PR = 2.07; without, PR = 1.49), and structural social capital (with, PR = 1.70; without, PR = 1.24).
conclusionHappiness in individuals with schizophrenia is associated with physical, mental, and social factors, with social factors exhibiting sex-related differences.
