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: Hypertension and mental disorders, particularly depression, significantly impact Asia's older adult. Alleviating depression in older adult hypertensive patients can significantly enhance their quality of life. This study evaluates the mental health status of hypertensive patients over 60 who do or do not provide intergenerational family support. Methods: Using 2020 CHARLS data, we analyzed 4,851 hypertensive patients aged ≥60. Intergenerational family support was categorized into financial, daily caregiving, and emotional support, with mental health measured via the Chinese CESD-10. Multivariate linear regression and propensity score matching (PSM) assessed mental health changes from different support types. Heterogeneity analysis examined differences across age, gender, education, and urban-rural areas. Results: Caregiving ( Conclusion: Non-material intergenerational support, especially caregiving and emotional involvement, is crucial for alleviating depression in older adult hypertensive patients, whereas financial support has little effect. Policies should prioritize psychosocial interventions over financial aid, particularly for vulnerable groups like women, rural residents, and the older adult aged ≥75.
