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
Aims: To investigate the prevalence of social frailty among older adults in nursing homes, and to explore the associated factors of social frailty. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: From September to December 2024, a convenience sample of 447 older adults was recruited from nine nursing homes in Chongqing, China. Social frailty was assessed using the HALFT scale, with a score of ≥ 3 indicating the presence of social frailty, Data were collected on demographic and disease characteristics, loneliness, depression, and social network. Descriptive statistics, univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were applied for data analysis. Results: The prevalence of social frailty was 23.9% among older adults in nursing homes. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that education level (OR = 0.306, 95% CI:0.099-0.945, Conclusion: Social frailty is a common problem among older adults in nursing homes. Healthcare providers should develop preventive strategies based on these factors to reduce the onset and progression of social frailty among older adults in nursing homes.
