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
Objectives: Previous research has revealed a relationship between social support and cognitive frailty. However, the underlying mechanisms of this connection have still not been well explored. The study aimed to investigate the effect of social support on cognitive frailty, mediated by psychological resilience and to examine the moderated mediation effect of education. Methods: A total of 1,758 older adults aged 60 years and above were included in the analysis. A descriptive analysis was conducted to describe the sample characteristics. The moderated mediation models were examined using Mplus 8.3, in which the mediation variables was psychological resilience, and the moderation variable was education. Results: The prevalence of cognitive frailty among the older adults was 4.3%. Social support had a significant negative predictive effect on the cognitive frailty ( Discussion: We present a conceptual model containing the mediated effects of psychological resilience and the moderated effect of education on the relationship between social support and cognitive frailty. We believe this model enhances understanding of these associations and could be instrumental in formulating intervention strategies to mitigate the incidence of cognitive frailty in older adults.
