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

Cognitive leisure activities (CLAs) and pain may affect depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older people in China. This study aimed to clarify the association between CLAs and depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older groups, and further analyze the mediating function of pain in this relationship. Data were obtained from the CHARLS from 2011 to 2018. The association between the CLA Score (CLAS) and depressive symptoms was assessed using multilevel logistic regression to examine regional differences. Subgroup analysis was performed by age and sex. The mediating effect of pain was tested. High CLAS (Group 4) was significantly related to a reduced risk of depressive symptoms (OR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.44-0.76,
