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

objectiveTo investigate the prevalence of perceived ageism among community-dwelling older adults and systematically analyze its determinants, thereby providing a reference for the management of mental health in this population.

methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted from April 15-30, 2025, in 45 communities in Zigong City, Sichuan Province, China. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed, and 484 valid responses were collected. The survey included a general information questionnaire and the Perceived Ageism Questionnaire (PAQ). LASSO (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) regression and multiple linear regression analyses were used to identify risk factors associated with perceived ageism.

resultsThe mean score on the Perceived Ageism Questionnaire was 16.68 ± 3.70. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that educational level, vision status, and hearing function were significantly associated with perceived ageism among community-dwelling older adults.

conclusionPerceived ageism among community-dwelling older adults is at a moderate level. Healthcare providers should develop targeted interventions based on these determinants to enhance mental health and well-being in this population.
