1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesFinancial exploitation (FE) vulnerability in older adults is a growing public health concern and may signal future cognitive decline. This study investigated the associations between FE vulnerability and cognitive reappraisal and whether this varies by anxiety and depressive symptoms.

methodOne hundred and fifty-two older adults without dementia completed the Perceived Financial Vulnerability Scale (PFVS), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Cognitive Reappraisal subscale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Hierarchical regressions tested associations between FE vulnerability, reappraisal, and anxiety and depression levels. Moderation analyses evaluated whether mood symptomatology influenced the PFVS-reappraisal link, followed by simple slopes and Johnson-Neyman analyses. Models were adjusted for age, sex, race, education, and income.

resultsFE vulnerability was associated with cognitive reappraisal (

conclusionFE vulnerability was associated with cognitive reappraisal and moderated by anxiety and depression. Emotion regulation interventions may reduce FE vulnerability, particularly among older adults with lower anxiety or higher depressive symptoms.
