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: Active aging is pivotal for addressing population aging. Older adults chronic disease patients face greater active aging challenges, and while social support and coping strategies correlate with it, their mediating mechanism in this population remains underverified. This study investigated the effect of social support on the level of active aging among older adults with chronic diseases and further examined whether coping styles play a mediating role in this relationship. Methods: Between August 2024 and May 2025, patients were surveyed using the Chinese versions of the Active Aging Scale, the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, and the Social Support Questionnaire. In addition, demographic information was collected, and statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate the data. Correlation analyses and mediation effect tests were performed using SPSS 25.0 and Amos 24.0, respectively. Results: The results showed that social support was significantly and positively associated with both active aging ( Conclusion: Social support contributes to higher levels of active aging among older adults with chronic diseases through both direct and indirect pathways. In addition to its direct influence, social support indirectly promotes active aging by encouraging patients to adopt a confrontation-oriented coping style. These findings indicate that coping style functions as a key mediating mechanism linking social support to active aging in older adults individuals with chronic conditions.
