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
Background: In the modern society where social media and aging are intertwined, how to promote older adults to integrate into the digital society and enjoy digital interests, to improve their quality of life and happiness, and promote active healthy aging has become an important topic today. Methods: Based on social cognition theory, we constructed a research model including health consciousness, self-efficacy, social norms, and health information-sharing intention (ISI) of older adults. A total of 225 valid questionnaires were collected through a questionnaire survey, and empirical analysis including reliability test, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, hypothesis test, and mediation effect test was conducted. Results: The results show that older adults' health consciousness, self-efficacy, and social norms have a significant positive effect on health information sharing. Health consciousness has a positive effect on social norms and older adults' self-efficacy. Furthermore, social norms and older adults' self-efficacy mediate the relationship between health consciousness and health information-sharing intention, respectively. Conclusion: This study considers health consciousness as a key research variable, which not only further explores the internal drivers of sharing health information among older adults but also provides a new perspective and strategies for promoting healthy aging.
