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

The oldest-old people are prone to such psychological and mental risks as depression, anxiety, and cognitive dysfunction. Yet which specific symptom poses the biggest threat remains elusive, especially when the characteristics of a certain sample are considered. Using network analysis, the current study examined a pool of symptoms in the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey and established a network model. Depression was more prevalent (67.4%) among the oldest-old Chinese than anxiety (11.2%). Depressive, anxiety, and cognitive symptoms exhibited very weak interrelations, and "feeling depressed" was the most prominent symptom in the whole network model. Based on such findings, interventions should be targeted at depressive symptoms to improve mental health for this population.
