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
backgroundStudies have shown that locomotive syndrome (LS) is significantly correlated with adverse outcomes, such as decreased self-care abilities, fractures, and increased mortality. Subthreshold depression (StD) is considered an independent predictor of clinical depression, regarded as its prodromal stage, and even linked to increased mortality risk. Limited research has addressed the prevalence and relationship between LS and StD in elderly cancer patients. Understanding the prevalence of LS and StD among elderly cancer patients and elucidating their relationship will provide evidence to support the development of targeted interventions, thereby improving health outcomes in this population.
aimTo investigate the relationship between musculoskeletal system function and pre-depressive states in elderly cancer patients.
methodsA convenience sampling method was employed to recruit 500 elderly cancer patients undergoing follow-up visits at the Department of Oncology, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University, from April 2024 to December 2024. Participants completed the general information questionnaire, the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale, and the Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form-15. Influencing factors were analyzed, and correlation analyses were performed.
resultsA total of 483 elderly cancer patients successfully completed the study. The prevalence of LS and StD among participants was 56.5% and 38.7%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis identified age, tumor metastasis, exercise habits, and the presence of StD as significant risk factors for LS in elderly cancer patients. Additionally, having three or more chronic diseases and LS were significant predictors for developing StD. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between LS and StD (
conclusionElderly cancer patients exhibit a high prevalence of LS and StD, conditions which are positively correlated and mutually influential. Thus, it is critical to monitor and address pre-depressive states while evaluating and managing motor function in this population.
