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
backgroundElderly individuals frequently suffer from chronic underlying disease like hypertension and diabetes. These illnesses not only impair physical health but also show a close link to elevated rates of cognitive impairment and depressive symptoms. The mutual influence between these two issues can further diminish the quality of life of elderly patients. Nevertheless, there remains a shortage of systematic investigations into the cognitiveemotional relationship within this specific population.
methodsA total of 206 elderly patients with chronic underlying disease were enrolled retrospectively. Cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Depressive symptoms were evaluated via the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15). To analyse the correlation between cognitive impairment and depressive symptoms, the Spearman correlation analysis, univariate analysis, and multivariate Logistic regression were employed.
resultsAmong the 206 patients, the primary chronic underlying diseases were hypertension (64.56%), diabetes mellitus (39.32%), coronary heart disease (27.67%), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (21.84%). Additionally, 45.15% of the patients had two or more chronic diseases. The prevalence of cognitive impairment stood at 49.51% (102 cases), while the prevalence of depressive symptoms was 40.78% (84 cases). No significant differences were observed in the prevalence of cognitive impairment and depressive symptoms among patients with different types of chronic diseases (all p > 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between MoCA scores and GDS-15 scores (r = -0.552, p < 0.001). Binary Logistic regression analysis indicated that factors such as body mass index ≥21.42 kg/m
