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
Objectives: The study aimed to explore the relationship between mental health disorders and professional quality of life (ProQOL) among humanitarian aid workers (HAWs) along the Thai-Myanmar border focusing on compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress (STS). Study design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Data was collected through surveys using validated tools to measure compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. An independent Results: The mean scores were 34.87 ± 6.55 for compassion satisfaction, 24.68 ± 5.31 for burnout and 25.16 ± 6.19 for STS. Higher stress, depression and PTSD significantly increased burnout and STS. Quality of life (QOL) was positively linked with compassion satisfaction and negatively associated with burnout and STS. Multiple linear regression showed that family support (AMD: 1.524, 95 % CI: 1.14-1.91) and QOL (AMD: 0.088, 95 % CI: 0.04-0.14) predicted higher compassion satisfaction. Burnout was negatively associated with family support (AMD: 0.951, 95 % CI: 1.25 to -0.65) and QOL (AMD: 0.054, 95 % CI: 0.09 to -0.01) however positively linked to stress and PTSD. Conclusion: This study provided the mental health challenges of HAWs, emphasizing protective and risk factors that can inform targeted interventions to enhance their well-being in high-risk settings.
