Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Research on conflict discourse highlights the value of a cross-cultural perspective and the need to explore its features across different cultural contexts. However, there is limited research on conflict discourse among Chinese elders, particularly within the framework of building an Age-Friendly Society. To address this gap, this study adopts Fairclough's dialectical-relational approach in critical discourse analysis to examine the strategies Chinese elders employ in intergenerational conflicts. Drawing on Li's framework of conflict strategies-competition, cooperation, avoidance, and compromise-this study identifies how Chinese elders use discourse to safeguard their rights and foster mutual understanding within family interactions. The findings reveal that these four strategies serve as discursive means for elders to achieve self-fulfillment, protect their rights, and sustain family harmony amidst social change. This study offers a systematic analysis of conflict resolution strategies in intergenerational discourse, highlighting the nuanced equilibrium that elders navigate between upholding traditional values and accommodating the evolving dynamics of contemporary family life.
