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
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the associations among social support, quality of life, and demoralization in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and to test the hypothesized mediating role of social support between quality of life and demoralization. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sampling approach. A total of 293 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were recruited from the gastroenterology departments of three tertiary-level hospitals in Xi'an, China, between January and July 2024. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Demoralization Scale-II (DS-II), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ). Internal consistency reliabilities (Cronbach's Results: Social support was positively correlated with quality of life ( Conclusion: Social support plays a significant partial mediating role in the relationship between quality of life and demoralization in IBD patients. These cross-sectional findings suggest that interventions aimed at enhancing social support may help mitigate demoralization and improve quality of life, though longitudinal or experimental studies are needed to confirm causal pathways.
