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: To explore the relationships between stigma, self-esteem, and quality of life in burn patients. This study assesses the mediating role of self-esteem between stigma and quality of life using structural equation modeling, providing a theoretical basis for improving patients' quality of life. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to select 264 patients in the rehabilitation phase from the burn department of Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital between October 2022 and October 2024. The Chinese version of the Social Impact Scale (SIS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), and Burn Specific Health Scale - Brief (BSHS-B) were used to assess stigma (higher scores indicate stronger stigma), self-esteem (higher scores indicate higher levels of self-esteem), and quality of life (lower scores indicate better quality of life). Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlations among the variables, and structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the mediating role of self-esteem. Results: The total scores for stigma (M = 61.21, SD = 11.58), self-esteem (M = 26.28, SD = 5.24), and quality of life (M = 61.26, SD = 10.58) were found, with significant differences across gender, work status, primary source of medical expenses, and burn severity ( Conclusion: Stigma, self-esteem, and quality of life are closely related in burn patients, with self-esteem playing a significant mediating role. Reducing stigma and enhancing self-esteem are important strategies for improving patients' quality of life, providing a basis for psychological interventions.
