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
Mental health literacy (MHL) is considered a key concept in dealing with mental illness. It encompasses knowledge about illnesses, risk factors, help-seeking behavior, and attitudes toward mental illness. Shame is also associated with these factors. In this study, a modified German version (MHLS-DE) was developed and tested on an online sample (N=533). The psychometric properties of the MHLS-DE and the role of shame as a mediator of MHL were investigated. The MHLS-DE achieved good reliability (Cronbach's χ=0.846) and structural validity. Gender-modulated mediation effects through shame experiences were found for the relationship between psychological flexibility and MHL. Despite ongoing conceptual ambiguities, mental health literacy can be reliably assessed with the MHLS-DE. The mediation analysis highlighted the role of feelings of shame in MHL, which should be considered in interventions to improve MHL.
