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
aimThe aim of this study was to investigate how perceived social support and self-rated health together could mediate the relationship between pain and depression among Chinese nursing home residents with pain.
methodsThe study was conducted in 38 nursing homes in 13 cities in China. A convenience sample of 2154 older adults responded to the questionnaire survey. A mediation analysis was performed on the data of 990 participants with pain. The data were collected by a questionnaire consisting of socio-economic and demographic characteristics, the Geriatric Depression Scale-15, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Self-rated Health Scale and the Numerical Rating Scale of pain. The sample was subdivided by sex. Descriptive analysis, t-tests, chi-squared tests, Mann-Whitney U-tests, Spearman correlation analyses and the bootstrap method were used to analyze data.
resultsThe prevalence rate of pain and depression among nursing home residents were 46.0% and 20.7% respectively. Pain, perceived social support and self-rated health were all significantly correlated with depression (r = 0.217, P < 0.01; r = -0.216, P < 0.01; r = 0.385, P < 0.01, respectively). Perceived social support and self-rated health independently and in series partly explained the relationship between pain and depression.
conclusionsThe results of the study showed that pain was associated with low perceived social support first, and then poor self-rated health, which was in turn related to the development of depression among nursing home residents with pain. For nursing home residents, perceived social support and self-rated health as an internal resource can affect the ability to overcome the suffering of pain and reduce the level of depression.
