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: Psychological problems are prevalent among maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and development of scientific, feasible and effective psychological promotion strategies can effectively improve their mental health. A series of studies were conducted to develop a group-based positive psychological intervention for MHD patients. The feasibility and effectiveness of the protocol were verified by a study. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 246, including interviews with 13 patients, was conducted to determine the status and factors influencing mental health. A scoping review of 65 studies was performed to develop a protocol for the group-based positive psychological intervention for MHD was based on the PERMA theory and lasted for 4 weeks. Furthermore, experts, medical workers and patients who completed the intervention were interviewed to refine the program. Fifty-two patients were recruited from a hemodialysis center in Shanghai from December 2023 to January 2024. The primary outcome was benefit finding (BF). The secondary outcomes were well-being, quality of life (QoL), and the accessibility and implementation of the program, which were evaluated through interviews and researcher logs. Results: A total of 84 patients were recruited, 52 of whom ultimately participated in the study, including 26 patients in the intervention group and 26 patients in the control group. Twenty-four patients (92.31%) completed all interventions, and 26 patients (100%) completed more than 7 interventions. There were statistically significant differences in the intergroup effect ( Conclusion: This study developed a group-based positive psychological intervention for MHD patients by conducting a scoping review, a cross-sectional study, qualitative interviews and expert group meetings. This study further optimized and verified the protocol of the intervention by analyzing the barriers to and facilitators of the intervention, conducting expert group meetings and performing the experiment. The intervention had a positive effect on physical and mental health for MHD patients.
