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
This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between social capital and physicians' health-related quality of life(HRQoL) in primary healthcare institutions. Simultaneously, we examined the mediating role of health-related behaviors in the process. Data was obtained from a nationwide cross-sectional survey conducted in 2021. Demographic characteristics and health-related behaviors were collected by a self-administered questionnaire. We used the social capital of healthcare organizations reported by employees (SOCAPO-E) scale to measure the social capital and the EuroQol-five dimension-five level (EQ-5D-5L) to measure physicians' HRQoL. The Tobit model was performed to evaluate the association between social capital and HRQoL. Spearman's test was applied to investigate the relationship between social capital, health-related behaviors and HRQoL. A bootstrap approach was used to assess the mediating effect of health-related behaviors. The regression results showed that social capital (β = 0.605, p<0.001) was significantly and positively associated with physicians' HRQoL. Spearman's correlation analysis showed that social capital was positively correlated with health-related behaviors (r = 0.211, p < 0.01), health-related behaviors were positively correlated with HRQoL (r = 0.134, p < 0.01), and social capital was positively correlated with HRQoL (r = 0.253, p < 0.01). Health-related behaviors moderately mediated the relationship between social capital and HRQoL (BootSE = 0.006, BootCI=[0.005,0.030]). Social capital not only directly affected physicians' HRQoL, but also indirectly affected HRQoL through health-related behaviors. Our findings suggested that future intervention measures could complement the strengthening of social capital with health behavior promotion programs to achieve more comprehensive health improvements.
