1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundsPositive psychology offers a promising framework for enhancing mental health, particularly among maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, whose psychological well-being is often compromised. This study aimed to develop and validate a Chinese version of the PERMA Profiler, tailored to assess flourishing in MHD patients and provide a reliable research tool.

methodsFollowing the translation and cultural adaptation of the original PERMA Profiler, 376 MHD patients were surveyed to assess its psychometric properties. Analyses included item analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, criterion validity, and reliability testing.

resultsThe Chinese version retained all original items and exhibited strong psychometric properties. By validity analysis, the KMO value was 0.871. Factor analysis identified two dimensions: positive experience and self-actualization, accounting for 57.7% of the variance. Model fit indices (χ

conclusionThe PERMA Profiler, adapted for a Chinese cultural context, is a reliable and valid tool for assessing flourishing in MHD patients. It offers a robust foundation for research and intervention to improve mental health outcomes in this population.
