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
Background: Against the background of an aging population, the prevalence of mental health problems among elderly people with chronic diseases is steadily increasing. The prevalence of mental health problems is higher in less economically developed regions, but there are still limited reports on the mental health data of elderly people with chronic diseases in less developed western regions. Objective: To find out the prevalence of anxiety and depression among chronically ill elderly people in Zunyi, China, and to analyze the risk factors for the prevalence of anxiety and depression. Methods: A stratified randomized whole-cluster sampling method with face-to-face questionnaires was used to survey people aged 60 years and older with chronic diseases in Zunyi, China, from March 2022 to October 2023. Relevant demographic and clinical data were collected using structured questionnaire contents of sociodemographic characteristics, Self-Assessment Scale for Anxiety (SAS), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), Brief Miniature Nutritional Assessment Scale (MNA-SF), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Barthel Index (BI), etc., and bivariate analyses were carried out to explore the anxiety according to the different characteristics of the subjects Bivariate analyses were conducted to explore the differences in anxiety and depression according to the different characteristics of the subjects, and multifactorial logistic regression analyses were conducted to test the factors affecting anxiety and depression. Findings: A total of 9,998 subjects were enrolled in this study, and 9,821 valid questionnaires were obtained. The prevalence of anxiety was 26.83% ( Interpretation: The prevalence of anxiety among elderly individuals with chronic diseases in Zunyi City, China, is higher than the global average, whereas the prevalence of depression is lower than the global level. Patients with cardiovascular diseases exhibit a higher prevalence of anxiety, depression, and the co-occurrence of both anxiety and depression. Factors such as economic income, education level, lifestyle habits, and medical history influence the occurrence of anxiety and depression in elderly individuals with chronic diseases. This highlights the need to promote screening for anxiety and depression among the elderly with chronic conditions and to enhance community awareness of mental health issues in the elderly population.
