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

Using data from the 2016, 2018, and 2020 waves of the China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS), this study investigated the association between digital social integration and life satisfaction among Chinese older adults, as well as the possible mediating role of employment status. Results show that better digital social integration was significantly associated with better life satisfaction, and the association was more pronounced among older adults in urban area, with higher level social security or education. In addition, we found that employment status mediated the association between digital social integration and life satisfaction among Chinese older adults.
