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
Objective: To explore the levels of disability, Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II), illness-related stigma, and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and to examine the chain mediating roles of HPLP-II and illness-related stigma in the association between disability and PTG. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was performed among 311 IBD patients recruited from three tertiary hospitals in Shanghai between August 2022 and April 2023. All participants completed standardized questionnaires, including general information scale, IBD Disability Index (IBD-DI), PTG Inventory (PTGI), HPLP-II and Stigma Scale for Chronic Illness (SSCI). SPSS 26.0 and Hayes' PROCESS macro (Model 6, 5,000 bootstrap resamples) were adopted for data analysis. Disease activity and disability severity were set as covariates in the mediation model. Results: The mean scores of PTGI, IBD-DI, HPLP-II and SSCI were 70.84 ± 25.65, 28.39 ± 12.98, 148.61 ± 36.84 and 69.24 ± 29.33, respectively. IBD-DI was negatively correlated with HPLP-II and PTGI, and positively correlated with SSCI; SSCI was negatively correlated with HPLP-II and PTGI, while HPLP-II was positively correlated with PTGI (all Conclusion: Disability is not directly correlated with PTG in IBD patients. Its negative linkage with PTG is mediated by the chain pathway of impaired health-promoting lifestyle and elevated illness-related stigma. Targeted interventions to reduce stigma and optimize health-promoting lifestyle may help improve PTG and promote psychological rehabilitation among IBD patients.
