Article in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The processes and circumstances underlying the association between emotional intelligence and life satisfaction were investigated among rural older adults. The factor structure of the measures was also assessed to determine their capacity and suitability for use. Participants were 1053 (639 males and 414 females) older adults with a mean age of 71.34 (SD of 7.15) recruited from selected rural communities in southwestern Nigeria. Results of the factor analysis show that the measures are appropriate for use in the study settings. Emotional intelligence significantly predicts life satisfaction as a result of social connectedness among the samples used. Also, the effect holds better among older adults with higher dispositional optimism than those with lower dispositional optimism. The study outcomes underscore the importance of social connectedness and optimism on life satisfaction among older adults in rural communities.
