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
backgroundMalnutrition and depression among the elderly people with cardiovascular diseases are important public health concerns. This study made an attempt to determine the relationship between these people's depression and their nutritional status in northern Iran.
methodsThis analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 190 elderly patients hospitalized with cardiovascular diseases in Dr. Heshmat Heart Hospital in Rasht (Iran) in the 2022-2023. The research instruments included demographic information questionnaire, mini-nutritional assessment questionnaire, and geriatric depression scale. Data were analyzed by SPSS-21 software and using Chi-Square tests and ordinal logistic regression.
resultsThe participants' mean age was 68.4 ± 6.5 and 50.5% of the participants were women.56.3% of the elderly participants suffered from malnutrition and 96.3% of them suffered from various degrees of depression. Additionally, there was a relationship between the participants' severity of depression and their nutritional status. Significant relationships were also observed between the participants' depression (OR = 1.28 and p < 0.001), marital status (OR = 1.52 and p = 0.006), and underlying diseases (OR = 0.814, p = 0.035) with nutritional status.
conclusionGiven the significant relationship depression with nutritional status in cardiovascular patients, early diagnosis and treatment of depression in these patients is essential to prevent the effects of depression on nutritional status and disease course.
