Activity of Daily Living and Depressive Symptoms in Chinese Older Adults: A Latent Profile and Mediation Analysis.
Article in International journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objectives: This study aims to examine vulnerable ADL-based subgroups of Chinese older adults, their links to depressive symptoms, and life satisfaction as a mediating factor. Methods: We screened 8,211 participants aged 60 years and above who met the inclusion criteria from 2018 CHARLS. The different subgroups of ADL were identified by latent profile analysis. Life satisfaction and depressive symptoms were compared among the various ADL subgroups. Mediation analysis helped investigate the mediating role of life satisfaction between the various subgroups of ADL and depressive symptoms. Results: Two vulnerable subgroups of ADL were identified ( Conclusion: The results emphasize the role of life satisfaction in linking ADL with depressive symptoms, indicating potential areas for interventions to reduce depressive symptoms among older adults. This study is limited by its cross-sectional design precluding causal inference, reliance on self-reported data and unexplored moderating factors.
