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: This study aimed to examine the association between emotional intelligence and symptom distress among patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) based on the Common-Sense Model, and to explore whether illness perception statistically accounts for this association. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 198 patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis in three tertiary hospitals in Chengdu, China. Emotional intelligence, illness perception, and symptom distress were assessed using validated questionnaires. Correlation and mediation analyses were performed to examine the associations among these variables. Results: The mean scores for the main variables were 79.22 ± 13.82 for emotional intelligence, 43.53 ± 7.88 for illness perception, and 24.04 ± 18.22 for symptom distress. Correlation analysis showed that emotional intelligence was significantly negatively related to both illness perception ( Conclusion: Illness perception may be an important psychological correlate linking emotional intelligence with symptom distress in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. These findings highlight the potential value of integrating illness perception assessment and emotional regulation support into routine symptom management, although longitudinal and intervention studies are needed to clarify temporal relationships and evaluate clinical effectiveness.
