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
introductionVital exhaustion (VE), characterized by fatigue, irritability, frustration, and hopelessness, has been associated with the development and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is considered a maladaptive response to chronic stress. This study aimed to explore the association of VE with anxiety and insomnia in hospitalized patients with CVD, as well as the demographic and clinical characteristics associated with VE. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted including 200 hospitalized patients with CVD. VE was assessed using the Maastricht Questionnaire (MEQ); anxiety, using the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS); and insomnia, using the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS). Additionally, a structured questionnaire on clinical and demographic variables was utilized.
resultsThe majority of the 200 participants were men (60.7%) and aged 71-80 years (40%). The mean VE score was 21.4 ± 10.1 within score range from 0 to 40. VE was significantly associated with gender (
conclusionsVE is closely associated with anxiety and insomnia and is influenced by key demographic and clinical factors in hospitalized patients with CVD. These findings highlight VE as a clinically relevant condition and identify distinct high-risk patient groups that may benefit from targeted assessment and management strategies.
