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
Objective and rationale: The prevalence of depression among older adults residing in nursing homes has risen. While physical activity interventions based on the self-determination theory have been shown to reduce depressive symptoms among students and middle-aged adults, research in nursing home residents is scarce. This study aimed to investigate whether physical activity can alleviate depressive symptoms in nursing home residents over an extended period. Methods: Between September 2020 and August 2021, 46 nursing home residents in Shenyang were randomly assigned to either a control group (n = 23) or an intervention group (n = 23). The control group followed a standard physical activity programme, whereas the intervention group underwent a programme based on self-determination theory. Both groups were monitored for 24 weeks post-intervention. Depression scores were assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale, sociodemographic data collected via a self-designed questionnaire, cognitive function evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination, and weight and body fat measured using the Omron KARADA Scan Body Composition and Scale. Results: Depression scores were measured at five time points: baseline (T Conclusions: A physical activity intervention based on self-determination conceptual framework has been proven to be effective for nursing home residents with depressive symptoms, also aiding in the maintenance of their physical activity levels. This study offers a theoretical foundation for the development of intervention programmes by researchers and identifies potential intervention strategies for caregivers in nursing homes. Trial Registration: The Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200060598) (June 5, 2022).
