Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Aims: Chronic liver disease (CLD) significantly impairs health-related quality of life (HRQoL) due to its multifaceted impact on physical, psychological, and social well-being. Despite its prevalence in Pakistan, there is limited data on the specific HRQoL challenges faced by patients with CLD. This study aims to assess HRQoL in CLD patients using the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ) and identify factors influencing their quality of life. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital over 6 months, including 331 adult patients diagnosed with CLD. The Urdu version of the CLDQ assessed six HRQoL domains. Data on demographic and clinical variables were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA (Analysis of Variance), and Spearman's correlation. Results: The mean HRQoL score was 65.87 ± 23.55, indicating moderate impairment. Female patients reported significantly lower scores than males ( Conclusion: CLD severely affects patients' HRQoL, with notable gender disparities and psychological burdens. Comprehensive, multidisciplinary interventions addressing physical and emotional needs are essential to improve outcomes and quality of life in this population.
