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: Against the backdrop of a rapidly aging population, the number of people with physical disabilities in China is on a steady rise. Physical disabilities contribute to the development of unique psychological characteristics among this group, seriously affecting their thoughts, behaviors, and quality of life. Therefore, this study aims to explore the action paths and predictive values of self-stigma, social participation, self-esteem, and their influence on depression among community-dwelling people with physical disabilities in China based on the modified labeling theory. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to September 2023 among 280 community-dwelling persons with physical disabilities recruited from 8 counties and cities in Yanbian Prefecture, China. Validated multidimensional scales were used to measure depression, self-stigma, social participation, and self-esteem. SPSS 26.0 was employed for descriptive statistical analysis, and AMOS 26.0 was used to construct a structural equation model (SEM) and analyze the mediating effect. Results: The average score of depression was (40.94 ± 8.27). Pearson correlation analysis showed that self-stigma and social participation were significantly positively correlated with depression, while self-esteem was significantly negatively correlated with depression (all Conclusion: Social participation and self-esteem play a chain-mediating role between self-stigma and depression among community-dwelling people with physical disabilities. This offers a reference for developing social intervention strategies to improve the mental health of people with physical disabilities.
