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
Objective: To identify risk and protective factors associated with anxiety and depression symptoms in older adult women, considering clinical, functional, and electrophysiological parameters. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study involved 91 women aged 65 or older. Assessments included EEG-derived valence and excitation levels, motor reaction time, body composition, and functional performance. Anxiety and depression were screened using the mind over mood anxiety inventory and the geriatric depression scale, respectively. Results: Anxiety symptoms were present in 28.6% of participants and depressive symptoms in 27.5%. Risk factors for anxiety included fear of falling (OR = 2.023, 95% CI = 1.554-2.944, Conclusion: Functional and emotional parameters, particularly valence and gait performance, suggest a potential protective role against anxiety and depression in aging women. The findings reinforce the importance of integrated assessments to support early detection and guide intervention planning, while further studies are recommended to strengthen these observations.
