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

•We investigate how family cultural norms moderate the relationship between living arrangements and loneliness among older Chinese.•We utilize nationally representative survey data and novel historical records of family genealogies.•Older Chinese whose living arrangements diverge from local family norms report significantly higher levels of loneliness, a pattern more pronounced in regions with stronger traditional family culture.•Older adults whose living arrangements conform to local family norms experience consistently low levels of loneliness, regardless of cultural context.
