Self-rated health and mental health among older incarcerated males.
Article in Aging & mental health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesOlder incarcerated persons are a rapidly growing population with considerable mental health needs. We evaluated perceived worth and meaningfulness in life as mediators in the relationship between self-rated health (SRH) and depression and anxiety.
methodMediation analyses were conducted among 222 older incarcerated males from eight correctional facilities in Connecticut.PHQ-9 and GAD-7 assessed depression and anxiety, respectively. Subscales of the Geriatric Suicidal Ideation Scale (GSIS) measured perceived worth and meaningfulness in life.
resultsGreater SRH was associated with lower depression and anxiety. More perceived worth and meaningfulness in life were associated with better SRH and lower depression and anxiety. There is evidence of perceived worth and meaningfulness in life mediating the SRH-depression (
conclusionSRH has both direct and indirect effects on depression and anxiety, by working through perceived worth and meaningfulness in life, in older incarcerated males. Assessing SRH, and focusing on ways to maintain self-worth and meaning, may be instrumental in promoting and sustaining their good mental health.
