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
Psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness, and reduced quality of life are prevalent in older adults, yet the effectiveness of psychological interventions remains heterogeneous. This systematic review with meta-analysis evaluated the impact of psychological and psychoeducational interventions on emotional symptoms and quality-of-life outcomes in adults aged 60 years and older. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and Web of Science. Randomized controlled trials published in the last five years were included if they assessed interventions such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, reminiscence therapy, or behavioral activation. Twenty-eight trials were included in the qualitative synthesis and twenty-two in the meta-analysis. Standardized mean differences (Hedges' g) were pooled under fixed- and random-effects models. Heterogeneity, subgroup analyses, and publication bias were examined using Q, I
