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

Understanding the factors contributing to neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in older adults with mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is crucial for developing effective interventions. Although psychological resilience and social support are key factors related to NPS, with anxiety and sleep quality playing significant roles, the precise mechanisms underlying their relationships remain unclear. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of 328 older adults with MBI in 42 nursing homes across nine cities in Fujian Province, Southeast China, and investigated how psychological resilience, sleep quality, and anxiety influence the relationship between social support and NPS in older adults with MBI. Our findings showed that social support was significantly linked to NPS (β = -0.194, p < 0.001); psychological resilience mediated the relationship between social support and NPS (β = -0.219; confidence interval: -0.291, -0.153); sleep quality moderated the relationship between psychological resilience and social support (β = 0.141, p < 0.001); and anxiety moderated the relationship between social support and NPS (β = -0.117, p = 0.019), as well as that between psychological resilience and NPS (β = -0.189, p < 0.001). These findings highlight the potential of exploring resilience-focused interventions and their effects on social support and NPS in older adults with MBI.
