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
Introduction: Poverty Alleviation through Relocation (PAR) aims to break the intergenerational transmission of poverty by improving living environments. Understanding its impact on the psychological well-being of older adults, particularly loneliness, holds significant value for refining post-relocation support policies, enhancing the welfare of older populations, and promoting active aging. Methods: This study utilizes 2025 field survey data from Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces. The analysis employs an instrumental variable approach to address endogeneity, a mediation effect model to test the role of social exchange intensity, and a moderation effect model to examine the buffering effect of support policies. Results: Findings indicate that PAR significantly associated with higher overall levels of loneliness among older adults. ( Discussion: This study reveals that while PAR improves material conditions, it may simultaneously create structural risks for the psychological well-being of older adults by disrupting social networks and weakening emotional support. The study recommends building differentiated psychological support systems, strengthening mechanisms for social network reconstruction, improving targeted support for vulnerable groups, and integrating mental health services into community governance. These measures can systematically enhance the psychological well-being of older adults in PAR communities.
