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
objectiveThis study aims to investigate the effect of childhood trauma (CT) on the level of hopelessness in individuals diagnosed with methamphetamine use disorder (MUD) and the mediating role of perceived social support in this relationship.
methodsThe study included 43 patients diagnosed with MUD who attended a psychiatric outpatient clinic and 45 healthy controls with similar sociodemographic characteristics. Participants completed a sociodemographic data form, the Childhood Trauma Scale- Short Form, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Beck Hopelessness Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS 27 and the PROCESS Macro; correlation, group comparisons, and bootstrap-based mediation analysis were applied.
resultsIn the group with MUD, CT, and hopelessness levels were significantly higher, while perceived social support levels were lower. Positive correlations were found between trauma and hopelessness, and negative correlations were found between social support and both variables. In the mediation analysis, the direct effect of CT on hopelessness was insignificant (b=0.037, p=0.115), while the indirect effect mediated by perceived social support was significant (b=0.062, 95% confidence interval: 0.028 to 0.101). These findings indicate that perceived social support is mediating in this relationship.
conclusionIn conclusion, it appears that hopelessness levels in individuals diagnosed with MUD may be affected by CT and that this effect is shaped through social support. The findings emphasize the importance of strengthening social support systems in treatment.
