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: This study examined the association between leisure involvement (LI) and social inclusion (SI) among Chinese older adults, with particular attention to the mediating roles of flow experience (FE) and fear of missing out (FoMO). Methods: Data were collected from 432 older adults aged 55 years and above through community-based surveys in Zhejiang Province, China, supplemented by online questionnaires. Validated scales were used to measure LI, FE, FoMO, and SI. Mediation analyses were conducted using the SPSS PROCESS macro with bias-corrected bootstrap procedures. Results: LI was positively associated with SI. FE showed a significant positive indirect effect, whereas FoMO showed a significant negative indirect effect. Discussion: These findings suggest that leisure involvement may promote social inclusion through differentiated emotional pathways, characterized by enhanced positive experiential states and reduced socially driven anxiety. The results highlight the potential value of community-based leisure programs in promoting emotional well-being and strengthening social participation among older adults.
