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
This study explores the association between family functioning and psychological distress among young and middle-aged stroke patients, investigating the mediating role of hope and the moderating role of perceived social support. From February 2022 to March 2023, participants were recruited from six hospitals in five areas of Tianjin, China using a convenience sampling method. A total of 643 participants completed the measures of psychological distress, family functioning, hope, and perceived social support. We used the PROCESS macro for SPSS to establish a mediation model with regulations. The results revealed good family functioning was negatively associated with psychological distress in young and middle-aged stroke patients, and hope served as a partial mediator in the relationship between family functioning and psychological distress. Perceived social support moderated the strength of the indirect association between family functioning and psychological distress via hope. Among young and middle-aged stroke patients with high perceived social support scores, the indirect effect between family functioning and psychological distress through hope was stronger. These findings highlight a moderated mediation model, whereby the association between family functioning and psychological distress is mediated by hope, and this indirect association is contingent upon the level of perceived social support.
