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
backgroundDepression and suicidality in older adults are major public health concerns worldwide. These phenomena are strongly influenced by social and quality of life factors.
objectiveThe aim of the study was to characterize depressive and suicidal symptoms in older people in the context of quality of life. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this study 76 people aged 60-74 years were examined using interviews and questionnaires, namely: the Mannheim inventory of living conditions in old age (Mannheimer Inventar der Lebensverhältnisse im Alter, MILVA), the geriatric depression scale (GDS-15), Beck hopelessness scale (BHS) and the suicide crisis inventory revised (SCI-2). Data analysis was performed using statistical methods: regression analysis, Student's T‑test, Pearson correlation.
resultsOlder people with suicidal thoughts have a lower quality of life, namely by scales of communication and finances, with higher scores of depression and hopelessness. A negative relationship was found between social factors and indicators of a suicidal crisis. Regression analysis showed that activity and communication significantly influence the level of depression in older adults, while communication and financial stability influence the severity of suicidal crisis.
conclusionImproving the quality of life of older people, social support, increasing activity and communication can help to maintain well-being as well as to prevent depression and suicidal behavior in old age.
