1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Socioeconomic status (SES) is an important social factor associated with a wide range of health outcomes, but this relationship could be influenced by individual's intrinsic factors. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between SES and depressive symptoms, the mediating role of cognitive function, and the moderating role of sleep quality in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: A total of 1000 community-dwelling older adults were recruited for the cross-sectional study. Socioeconomic factors, cognitive function, sleep quality, and related covariates were investigated or assessed. Mediating and moderating effects were analyzed using R 4.2.2 and SPSS 25.0 software. Results: The results showed that SES was negatively associated with depressive symptoms (β=-0.234, p<0.001) and positively associated with cognitive function (β=0.566, p<0.001) after controlling for covariates; cognitive function played a partial mediating role between SES and depressive symptoms, and the indirect effect was β=-0.09 (95% CI: -0.129~ -0.06, p<0.001), accounting for 38.5% of the total effect; and sleep quality positively moderated the mediating effect of cognitive function on relationship between SES and depressive symptoms (β Conclusion: Depressive symptoms in community-dwelling older adults are affected by their SES and cognitive function. Improving individual cognitive ability and sleep quality can effectively reduce depression in community-dwelling older adults with low SES.
