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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of digital disability on the subjective well-being of older adult residents in Zhengzhou, with a specific focus on the moderating role of cultural deprivation in this relationship. Methods: An empirical research design was employed. Data were collected from a sample of older adult residents, and statistical analyses were conducted to examine the proposed relationships and moderation effect. Results: Digital disability (reverse-scored, with higher scores indicating greater competence) was significantly positively correlated with subjective well-being. Cultural deprivation significantly moderated this relationship. Simple slope analysis revealed that in contexts of higher cultural deprivation, digital disability exerted a more pronounced positive effect on well-being. Conversely, when deprivation levels were lower, this beneficial impact diminished significantly. Conclusion: Drawing on the law of diminishing marginal utility, this study elucidates the differentiated impact mechanisms of digital technology on older adults' well-being. It underscores the importance of developing differentiated digital policies within a cultural welfare framework, thereby providing theoretical and practical insights for enhancing digital inclusion and well-being among the older population.
