Leisure patterns and happiness among Chinese older adults: the moderating effect of age.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: As life expectancy rises, leisure activities play a more important role in happiness among older adults. This study aims to identify leisure patterns among Chinese older adults and their relationship with happiness. Further, the changes in the effect of leisure patterns on happiness by age were examined. Methods: This study used data from the 2018 Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS). We employed a latent profile analysis to clarify leisure patterns of Chinese older adults and hierarchical ordered logistic regression to analyze the relationship between leisure patterns and happiness, as well as the moderating role of age. Results: First, latent profile analysis identified four leisure patterns: Low Overall Leisure, Exercise-Centered Leisure, Network-Centered Leisure, and High Overall Leisure. Second, the Low Overall Leisure and Network-Centered Leisure groups were associated with lower happiness compared to the High Overall Leisure group. Finally, as age increased, the Low Overall Leisure and the Exercise-Centered leisure groups were progressively associated with higher happiness. Conclusion: We suggest that when designing leisure activity programs for older adults, full consideration should be given to the leisure needs of different age groups, and programs should be tailored to promote the happiness of the elderly.
