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

backgroundThe relationship between life satisfaction and mental health problems had been confirmed in many existed studies, but the underlying mediating and moderating effect of sleep disturbance and per capita bedroom area (PCBA) behind this association had never been identified. This study aimed to explore the mediating role of sleep disturbance and the moderating effect of PCBA on the association between life satisfaction and mental health problems.

methodsMultistage cluster random sampling method was used to select the participants and finally 613 migrant older adults with children (MOAC) were included in the survey. A conditional process model was performed to examine the relationship between life satisfaction and mental health problems, as well as the mediating effect of sleep disturbance and the moderating effect of PCBA.

resultsLife satisfaction was negatively associated with mental health problems, and sleep disturbance could mediate their association. Furthermore, the direct effect of life satisfaction on mental health problems and the indirect effect of sleep disturbance in the relationship were moderated by PCBA, but it only moderated the direct effect and the second indirect link (sleep disturbance-mental health problems) of the mediating effect. Both these two effects were stronger for MOAC with a low level of PCBA.

conclusionsLife satisfaction had negative effect on mental health problems. PCBA moderated the direct effect of life satisfaction on mental health problems and the mediating effect of sleep disturbance on mental health problems. For MOAC with a low level of life satisfaction and high sleep disturbance, particularly those with a low level of PCBA, targeted implication for the community, family members and MOAC were proposed to improve the mental health of MOAC.
