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: Maintaining one's social capital may protect older adults with depression from contemplating suicide, possibly by contributing to overall well-being and mitigating the negative effects of arising difficulties such as worsening mental or physical health. However, it remains unclear whether such protective overall and mitigating effects stem primarily from the size and diversity of one's social network (social connectedness) or from the feeling of being supported by others (perceived social support) and whether these effects persist over time. Methods: In a longitudinal sample of adults with depression ages ≥50 years ( Results: In prospective models, both ideation presence and ideation severity decreased with social connectedness (ideation presence: odds ratio = 0.77, SE = 0.10, Conclusions: Social connectedness and perceived social support confer lasting protection against suicidal ideation. Clinicians should encourage preventive maintenance of diverse social networks in their middle-age and older patients/clients with depression and help them find adequate social support during acute suicidal crises.
