Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: China's aging problem is intensifying, the older adult not only face a variety of chronic physical diseases and pain, but also have higher levels of depression than other age groups. This study explores the related factors of depression in older adults with chronic pain in China and provide evidence and reference for the formulation of intervention policies and measures. Methods: Using the data of the fifth wave of national survey conducted by the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in 2020, a total of 10,581 older adults with chronic pain were selected as research objects, and their depression status was measured by the Depression Scale (CES-D). Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used to analyze the main factors affecting depression in older adults with chronic pain. Results: The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed: gender (female: OR = 1.28, 95%CI = 1.16-1.41), age (≥75 years old: OR = 0.49, 95%CI = 0.42-0.56), spouse/partner living together (no: OR = 1.19, 95%CI = 1.06-1.32), place of residence (rural: OR = 1.19, 95%CI = 1.06-1.32), education level (High school and above: OR = 1.19, 95%CI = 1.06-1.32); satisfaction with child relationship (satisfaction: OR = 0.22, 95%CI = 0.18-0.28), smoking (no: OR = 0.60, 95%CI = 0.41-0.86), Internet use in the past month (Yes: OR = 0.77, 95%CI = 0.68-0.86), nap duration (1 ~ <2 h: OR = 0.75, 95%CI = 0.66-0.85; ≥2 h: OR = 0.75, 95%CI = 0.66-0.85), night sleep duration (6 ~ <8 h: OR = 0.75, 95%CI = 0.66-0.85; ≥8 h: OR = 0.56, 95%CI = 0.49-0.63), BADL damaged (Yes: OR = 1.45, 95%CI = 1.31-1.62), IADL damaged (Yes: OR = 1.31, 95%CI = 1.17-1.45), received outpatient services in the past month (Yes: OR = 1.18, 95%CI = 1.06-1.31), pain (Quite a Bit/Very: OR = 1.41, 95%CI = 1.26-1.58), number of body parts that feeling pain (1 ~ 3: OR = 1.42, 95%CI = 1.27-1.60; 4-6: OR = 1.76, 95%CI = 1.51-2.04; 7 ~ 9: OR = 2.21, 95%CI = 1.82-2.67; ≥10: OR = 2.63, 95%CI = 2.15-3.22) are the influencing factors of depressive symptoms in older adults with chronic pain ( Conclusion: The incidence of depressive symptoms in older adults with chronic pain is 31.7%, and their depression status is affected by various factors. Medical and health institutions and policy makers should pay attention to the mental health of these older adults, and take targeted measures to improve health education, disease treatment, pain management, sleep improvement, family support, and other aspects according to their characteristics.
