Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) significantly impairs patients' quality of life. Psychological factors such as depression and self-disgust have been shown to be associated with quality of life; however, their interactions and combined effects remain unclear. Moreover, the level of self-disgust among Chinese patients with RA has not yet been investigated. Objective: To examine the mediating effects of self-disgust in the relationship between depression and quality of life among patients with RA, and to provide a reference for clinical practice aimed at improving patients' quality of life. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary general hospital in Guangzhou between August 2024 and February 2025, involving 342 patients with RA. Participants completed the General Information Questionnaire, the Questionnaire for the Assessment of Self-Disgust (QASD), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Quality of Life in RA Patients Scale. Univariate and Pearson correlation analyses were performed using SPSS 27.0, and mediation effects were tested with the Process plugin. Results: The mean scores of depression, the Quality of Life in RA Patients Scale and QASD were (9.01±4.97), (82.23±16.73) and (27.58±13.67), respectively. Depression was significantly correlated with quality of life ( Conclusion: Patients with RA have a relatively low quality of life. Self-disgust plays a partial mediating role between depression and quality of life in patients with RA. Nursing staff should pay attention to the assessment and screening of patients' depression and self-disgust, and implement targeted interventions to improve patients' quality of life.
