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
Higher sex ratio at birth often leads to sex imbalance and a severe squeeze on the marriage market. Up to now, no systematic studies have examined the relationship between marriage squeeze and suicidal ideation among rural men in a context of sex imbalance. Using surveys conducted in Chaohu (Anhui Province) and Ankang (Shaanxi Province) in China, this study analyzed the impact of marriage squeeze and social support on suicidal ideation among rural men. The perceived marriage squeeze significantly and positively affected suicidal ideation and the perceived social support negatively affected suicidal ideation among married and unmarried rural men. Objective social support did not significantly affect suicidal ideation among married men; however, it negatively affected suicidal ideation among unmarried men. Marriage squeeze increased the incidence of suicidal ideation among rural men, but perceived social support acted as a protective factor against suicidal ideation. These findings support the main effect hypothesis of social support. Objective social support is a double-edged sword, which may increase suicidal ideation incidence among rural men. The article ends with the conclusions and limitations of this study.
