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
backgroundPatients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) face significant physical and psychological challenges due to the chronic nature of their condition as well as the demands of treatment regimens. Mental health plays a crucial role in their overall well-being, yet the interplay between psychological factors such as social support, regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and flourishing remains underexplored.
objectiveThis study aims to investigate the complex relationships between social support, regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and flourishing among patients receiving MHD using advanced network analysis to identify key factors that could inform targeted interventions to enhance their mental health and quality of life.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 376 patients receiving MHD from tertiary and secondary hospitals in Shanghai. Data were collected through standardized questionnaires assessing flourishing, perceived social support, and regulatory emotional self-efficacy. Network analysis was used to explore the associations and centrality of these variables related to the psychological well-being of patients receiving MHD.
resultsThe network analysis revealed that positive emotion is a central node, strongly connected to other dimensions of flourishing, social support, and emotional self-regulation. Accomplishment and meaning were also closely intertwined, indicating their pivotal roles in the well-being of patients receiving MHD. Notably, family support was negatively associated with engagement, highlighting potential areas of conflict within familial caregiving dynamics.
conclusionsThis study underscores the importance of positive emotion, accomplishment, and meaning in the psychological well-being of patients receiving MHD. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at enhancing emotional self-regulation and strengthening social support networks, could improve the mental health outcomes for this population.
