Article in Psychology research and behavior management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: As China undergoes rapid modernization concurrent with accelerated aging, older adults are exposed to multifaceted cultural dynamics. Consequently, employment may carry multidimensional significance as a status passage. This study aimed to investigate the impact of employment on the mental health of elderly persons in China, leveraging middle-range theory to understand the nuanced social significance of employment as a status passage. Methods: This paper selected older adults aged 60 to 75 years from three waves (2015, 2018, and 2020) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) survey data as the analytical cohort. The analytical approach involved fixed effects models for the core empirical analysis, propensity score matching (PSM) to address selection bias, and instrumental variable techniques to tackle reverse causality. Results: The study demonstrates that employment retains positive properties of status passage for Chinese older adults in multicultural contexts, with empirical evidence showing significant reduction in depressive symptoms ( Conclusion: It is suggested to implement a flexible delayed retirement policy based on individual wishes, which would result in greater social welfare. For rural areas, it is imperative to address deficiencies in public cultural services while tapping into local cultural resources, thereby enhancing older residents' mental health and well-being.
