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
backgroundGiven the demographic shift towards an older population, it is crucial to understand the determinants and implications of psychological distress among this demographic group. This study explores the relationship between health self-management and psychological distress in older Chinese adults, focusing on the mediating role of general self-efficacy (GSE).
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study in five districts of Shanghai from 1 November to 31 December 2021, employing a random cluster sampling method. Data were collected using the Health Self-Management Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and the Kessler-10 Scale. Out of 2050 participants approached, 1905 completed the survey, resulting in a response rate of 91.76%. Data analysis included correlation studies, hierarchical linear regression, and structural equation modeling.
resultsThe average Kessler-10 score among elderly individuals in Shanghai was 15.59 ± 6.35. Of these, 22.10% had mild psychological distress, 11.92% had moderate stress, and 5.30% had severe stress. We found significant negative correlations between psychological distress and health self-management (r = -0.34,
conclusionsGSE plays a significant mediating role between health self-management and psychological distress. These findings highlight the importance of promoting health self-management and GSE to alleviate psychological distress among older adults in Shanghai. This approach could enhance holistic health outcomes and improve the quality of life within this growing population segment.
