1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

With the growing prevalence of mental health problems among older adults, this paper investigates the association between neighbourhood leisure amenities and depressive symptoms among older adults in China, and further explores the mediating role of social capital in this relationship. The results suggest that neighbourhood leisure amenities significantly reduce older adults' depressive symptoms (α = -0.124, 95% CI [-0.206, -0.042]), with stronger associations observed among those who are low-income, aged 75 years and above, female, and living in rural areas. Mediation analyses show that social participation and sense of neighbourhood belonging exert statistically significant mediating effects, accounting for 2.58% and 7.91% of the total effect, respectively. In contrast, the social support network does not exhibit a statistically significant mediating effect. These findings provide important insights into understanding the mechanisms linking neighbourhood leisure amenities to healthy ageing.
