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 and objectives Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its management can adversely affect patients' quality of life and mental health. Many patients are often inadequately informed about their condition and the available treatment options. A considerable number of people with advanced kidney disease have insufficient knowledge about their condition and the available treatment options. This study aims to investigate the impact of an educational intervention on quality of life, psychological resilience, anxiety, and depression. This study specifically aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention on variables such as quality of life, psychological resilience, anxiety, and depression. Methods A prospective randomized study was conducted on patients with CKD stage 4-5 to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention in improving the aforementioned parameters. Furthermore, the correlation between these outcomes and the level of satisfaction with the intervention was analyzed. Participants were randomized (3:1) into two groups: an educational intervention group (33 patients) and a control group (12 patients). In the intervention group, we performed educational presentations accompanied by a relevant video. Participants completed the questionnaires both before and after the intervention. Participants in the control group were only asked to complete the questionnaires again after the same time period as the intervention group. Results Higher satisfaction with the intervention was significantly associated with a reduction in anxiety (r = -0.38, p = 0.03) and depression scores (r = -0.44, p = 0.01), along with a notable improvement in social functioning (r = 0.40, p = 0.02). Furthermore, a marginally significant positive correlation was observed between the satisfaction scale and psychological resilience (r = 0.32, p = 0.07). Conclusion The level of satisfaction with the intervention is a critical factor in determining its effectiveness. Tailoring the intervention to address the unique needs of each patient may significantly enhance its impact.
