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
Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Korean patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 130 outpatients diagnosed with NTM-PD at Pusan National University Hospital between August and November 2023. Data were obtained using validated questionnaires assessing symptom experience, illness uncertainty, health-promoting behaviors, and HRQoL. Clinical characteristics were extracted from medical records. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, t-tests, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis performed with SPSS version 27.0. Results: The mean physical and mental HRQoL scores were 46.82 ± 6.33 and 43.95 ± 11.42, respectively, both significantly lower than the population norm of 50. Physical HRQoL was negatively associated with symptom experience (B = -0.48, Conclusion: HRQoL in patients with NTM-PD is significantly impaired and influenced by multiple factors. Evidence-based nursing interventions should emphasize symptom management, reduction of illness uncertainty, promotion of health-promoting behaviors, and strengthening of family support systems to optimize patient outcomes and overall well-being.
