1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) exacerbates subjective cognitive decline (SCD). This association can be significantly impacted by the mental well-being of the SSD patients. However, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. Methods: A total of 525 elderly patients, who visited the Department of Neurology of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital between October 2017 and August 2024, and the Department of Neurology of Quanzhou First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University between August 2022 and August 2024, were included in the study. Data of sociodemographics, medical history, somatic symptom disorder, subjective cognitive decline, depression, and anxiety were analyzed by simple, serial and moderated mediation models to evaluate the impact of depression and anxiety on the linkage between SSD and SCD. Results: SSD significantly affected SCD. Simple mediation analysis showed that depression and anxiety significantly mediated the association between SSD and SCD (β Conclusion: These findings provided new insights into possible avenues for prevention and intervention of SCD through SSD-based treatments with a multifaceted approach to psychiatric disorders.
