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 increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses among the elderly affects their physical and psychological well-being, contributing to emotional burdens and feelings of burdensomeness. This study aims to investigate the mediating and moderating role of social support in the relationship between psychological well-being and burdensomeness among elderly individuals with chronic illnesses. A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed, involving 311 participants aged 60 and older, recruited through purposive sampling. Data were collected using validated instruments via structured interviews conducted from June to August 2024. The results indicate that perceived burdensomeness has a strong negative effect on psychological well-being (r = -0.654). Social support significantly mediates this relationship, with higher social support associated with lower burdensomeness (β = -0.646) and improved psychological well-being (β = 0.318). Strengthening social support networks can mitigate feelings of burdensomeness and promote mental health, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for older adults facing chronic health challenges.
