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 investigate the association between religiousness (affiliation, nonorganizational, organizational, and intrinsic religiosity) and major depressive disorder (MDD) and depressive symptoms among older adults in a national population survey in India. In total, 72,262 people (≥ 45 years) from the cross-sectional longitudinal aging study in India 2017-2018 responded to questions on religiosity, MDD, and depressive symptoms. Results indicate that 57.0% of participants were engaged in high nonorganizational (daily prayer) religiosity, 14.0% engaged in high (> 1/week or every day) organizational religiosity (attending religious services) and 34.9% had high intrinsic religiosity. In the adjusted logistic regression analysis, high nonorganizational religiosity (daily prayer), and high intrinsic religiosity were inversely associated with MDD. Similarly, high nonorganizational religiosity and high intrinsic religiosity were inversely associated with depressive symptoms. Organizational religiosity was not significantly associated with MDD or depressive symptoms. Compared to Hindus, Christians had lower odds of MDD and Sikhs had lower odds of depressive symptoms. High religiosity was observed among older adults in India. Nonorganizational and intrinsic religiosity were inversely associated with MDD and depressive symptoms.
