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
The aim of this cross-sectional study is to examine the mediating role of political interest in the association between life satisfaction and political participation and the moderating role of individuals' political orientation within a moderated mediation framework. The study uses data from the 7th Wave of the World Values Survey (WVS) conducted in Türkiye. As part of the study, a moderated mediation analysis was conducted using Hayes’ PROCESS Macro Model 7 with 2,415 participants (age range: 18–95 years; M = 38.74, SD = 12.53). The findings indicated that political interest plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between life satisfaction and political participation, and this indirect association is contingent upon individuals' political orientations. Among right-wing and centrist individuals, life satisfaction was found to be a positively associated with political interest. However, this relationship was not statistically significant among left-wing individuals. The results highlight the importance of understanding political participation not simply as a civic duty but as a complex psychological and social phenomenon that is significantly associated with life satisfaction and shaped by individuals’ ideological orientations in Türkiye.
