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.

Abstract
Background: One effective strategy for enhancing the social health of the elderly is the development of leisure activities. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between leisure activities and social health among elderly residents of Tehran. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2018 on 413 elderly individuals aged 60 and above in Tehran. Cluster random sampling was employed from five districts of Tehran, maintaining the gender ratio. Data collection instruments included a demographic questionnaire, a 20-item Keyes Social Health Questionnaire, and a 44-item researcher-made Leisure Activities Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23, employing descriptive and analytical statistics, Spearman correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: Among the eight subdomains of leisure activities (recreation, sports, social interactions, rest, arts, cultural, media, and religious duties), the media category scored the highest mean (84.01%±23.6). The lowest mean score was related to the cultural activities category (21.6%±0.74). Women significantly participated less than men in recreation ( Conclusion: Leisure activities, especially recreation and religious duties, are significantly linked to the social health of the elderly. Age-related decline and gender disparities in participation highlight the need for targeted planning to improve access and involvement, particularly for women and older seniors. Promoting such activities can effectively enhance their quality of life and social well-being.
