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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the status of depressive mood in elderly patients with cataract and its association with visual acuity and self-perceived burden (SPB).
methodsA total of 210 senile patients with cataract attending the Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University between January 2025 and May 2025 were assessed with the scale, and 197 valid samples were finally obtained. Data on general demographics, underlying disease and best corrected visual acuity in both eyes were collected. The SPB scale (SPBS) and the self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to assess the psychological state of the patients. Comparisons between groups were conducted using one-way analysis of variance and the relationship among visual acuity level, SPBS and SDS was analysed. Multiple logistic regression was performed for variables with p < 0.1 in univariate analysis to identify independent risk factors for depression.
resultsOf the 197 patients, 84 were male and 113 were female, 59.39% were aged 65 years and older and 64.97% had visual acuity of less than 0.5. The SDS scores ranged from 34 to 70, with a mean of 49.60 ± 8.33, and the total SPBS scores ranged from 12 to 44, with a mean of 26.15 ± 7.69. The Pearson's correlation showed that SDS was negatively correlated with visual acuity and significantly positively correlated with the total SPBS score and its dimensions. The results of multiple logistic regression suggested that age (OR = 1.051, p = 0.020), caregiver health status (OR = 1.968, p = 0.046) and diabetes mellitus (OR = 2.396, p = 0.038) were independent risk factors for depression in elderly patients with cataract.
conclusionElderly patients with cataract have a high prevalence of depression, which is significantly associated with SPB and depression. Visual acuity level, age, health status of caregivers and comorbid diabetes have a significant impact on the risk of depression.
