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
Objectives: This study investigated gender disparity in quality of life (QOL) and social support among older adults in West Bengal, India. Methods: The study was conducted among 200 older people. The WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire and the MSPSS scale were used to measure the respondents' QOL and social support, respectively. Bivariate correlation and binary logistic regression were performed. Result: This study showed that being female (AOR: 2.53; CI: 1.32-4.86), low social support (AOR: 5.18; CI: 1.98-13.57), moderate social support (AOR: 4.17; CI: 2.05-8.49), functionally impaired (AOR: 2.25; CI: 1.04-4.86), and being widowed (AOR: 2.95; CI: 1.29-6.73) were significantly associated with poorer QOL of older adults. The interaction effect showed that the QOL of older men would experience a greater improvement than that of older women as a result of increased social support. Conclusion: Due to inadequate research on the relationship between QOL and social support with special emphasis on gender in India, this study will provide insight for planning interventions to improve older individuals' QOL.
