Perceived social support moderates the relationship between activities of daily living and depression after lower limb loss.
Article in Rehabilitation psychology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveThis study examined the moderating influence of perceived social support on the prospective relationship between baseline levels of activities of daily living (ADL) and depressive symptoms during the 1st year following amputation.
methodParticipants included 73 veterans with new/first unilateral lower extremity amputation due to vascular disease or diabetes. Baseline levels of perceived social support, ADL function, and mobility were assessed by retrospective recall 6 weeks after amputation. Depressive symptoms were measured at 6 weeks and 12 months following surgery.
resultsPerceived social support moderated the relationship between baseline ADL functioning and depressive symptoms at 12 months (β = -0.27, p < .001) after controlling for 6-week depressive symptoms and sociodemographic and physical/functional variables. Lower levels of baseline ADL function were associated with depressive symptoms at 12 months among those who reported lower levels of perceived social support.
conclusionThese data allowed us to identify those participants with both low ADL function at baseline and low social support as being at higher risk for depression symptoms postamputation. The findings support the stress buffering hypothesis and suggest that perceived social support may be an important modifiable target of intervention among individuals with lower levels of functioning.
