The impact of relative deprivation on mental health among middle-aged and older adults in China: a multiple chain mediation model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This study, grounded in the theoretical frameworks of social comparison and institutional trust, employs a multiple mediation model to elucidate the mediating mechanisms of social justice and social trust in the relationship between relative deprivation and mental health. Using data from 3777middle-aged and older adults in the Chinese General Social Survey, we conducted OLS regression and bootstrap analyses. The results demonstrate that relative deprivation among middle-aged and older adults not only is negatively correlated with mental health, but is also indirectly associated with mental health through two mediating variables: social justice and social trust. Furthermore, bootstrap analysis reveals a significant serial mediation pathway from relative deprivation through social justice to social trust, with an effect size of -0.002. These findings suggest that interventions targeting reduced relative deprivation, enhanced perceptions of social justice, and strengthened social trust may effectively improve mental health outcomes in this population.
