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
Introduction: Resilience scores are usually higher among older adults, but the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated social isolation in this risk group necessitate a reevaluation of this characteristic. Objectives: To investigate the differences in resilience among young, middle-aged, and elderly individuals and to explore the mediating factors (quality of life, spirituality, social support, depressive symptoms) in the relationship between age and resilience. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in April 2020 through online collection using the snowball method, enrolling 3,278 participants. They were divided into three age groups (18-36, 37-59, 60+), and resilience was assessed using the CD-RISC-10 scale. Mediation analyses examined the roles of depressive symptoms (PHQ-9), quality of life (EUROHIS-QOL-8), spirituality (WHOQOL-SRPB), and social support (MOS). Results: The sample comprised 1,207 young, 1,680 middle-aged, and 391 older adults. Resilience scores were significantly higher in the elderly population compared to middle-aged and young adults [F(2,3251) = 81.12; Conclusion: Older age was associated with higher resilience scores, even during COVID-19 pandemic. Spirituality and quality of life were identified as mediators of this relationship. These findings underscore the need for longitudinal research to confirm whether these factors predict resilience and to guide mental health interventions.
