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
From a social epidemiology perspective, this study examines self-stigma among COVID-19 quarantine populations and its influence on negative coping strategies. An online survey of 292 residents from quarantine and non-quarantine zones assessed self-stigma, negative emotions, inspirational motivation, and coping behaviors. Results showed that quarantined individuals experienced higher negative emotions and lower inspirational motivation than non-quarantined individuals. Self-stigma was positively linked to negative emotions and maladaptive coping, and negatively linked to inspirational motivation. Mediation analysis revealed that negative emotions and inspirational motivation partially explained the effect of self-stigma on negative coping strategies. These findings highlight self-stigma as a significant social determinant affecting emotional and behavioral responses during quarantine. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating stigma assessment into mental health monitoring and suggests implementing stigma-reduction interventions to enhance psychological resilience in pandemic settings.
