Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
This study aimed to analyse the classification, development trends and the influencing factors of the Chinese older adults' mental health state. Based on longitudinal data of Chinese older adults from 2005 to 2014, 2077 older adults aged 64 to 105 were included and the Latent Class Model, Latent Growth Mixture Model and Multinomial Logit models were employed in this study. We find that there are three types of mental health state of the Chinese older adults: negative, positive and contradictory; and the contradictory type could easily turn into negative or positive mental health state. There are four types of dynamic trends of mental health state: persistently negative, persistently positive, pro-negative, and pro-positive. About 40% of the older adults could maintain positive mental health state, and the pro-negative accounts for larger proportion than the pro-positive. Better economic status, good living habits, cohabitation with family members and pension coverage are beneficial for positive mental health state of the Chinese older adults. There is significant heterogeneity in the state as well as development trends of mental health of the older adults. The older adults with contradictory and negative types of mental health state should get timely psychological help to avoid turning into negative state. A series of polices are needed to promote mental health for the older adults in China.
