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
backgroundMajor depressive disorder (MDD) significantly impacts individuals' functioning by detrimentally influencing both their mental and physical well-being, consequently affecting their overall quality of life. This study aims to assess the impact of quality of life therapy (QOLT) on hope and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with MDD. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis randomized clinical trial involved 56 patients with MDD who sought treatment at psychiatry clinics in Iran during the year 2022. Participants were selected through convenience sampling and subsequently assigned to control and intervention groups using a random blocked allocation method. Before the intervention, all patients completed the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire and Snyder's hope scale as part of a pretest. The intervention group underwent a 10-week QOLT program, consisting of weekly 90-min sessions. Following the intervention, both control and intervention groups completed posttests by re-evaluating the research questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 26, employing independent two-sample
resultsBefore the intervention, the two groups did not exhibit significant differences in demographic variables, HRQoL, and hopefulness (
conclusionThis study showed that QOLT effectively improves HRQoL and hopefulness in patients with MDD. Consequently, QOLT can be considered as an impactful intervention for enhancing both HRQoL and hopefulness among patients with MDD.
