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

backgroundPrevious literature has highlighted the importance of psychosocial factors such as the perception of an adequate social support network or the subjective experience of life satisfaction in promoting well-being in older adults and facilitating healthy aging processes. The objective of the present study was to analyze the possible relationship between the level of resilience and social support in healthy older adults, and how these variables may influence experiences of life satisfaction. Furthermore, potential moderation relationships between these variables were analyzed.

methodsThe sample consisted of 42 healthy older adults (71.4% women), with a mean age of 66.57 years (standard deviation (SD) = 5.82). Participants completed a battery of questionnaires that included a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CDRISC), the Duke-UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire (Duke-UNC-11), and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS).

resultsThe results of the multiple regression analyses indicate that resilience and social support positively and significantly predict life satisfaction. Furthermore, moderation analyses indicate that social support moderates the relationship between resilience and life satisfaction, jointly explaining 44.98% of the variance of this indicator of wellbeing. Specifically, the positive association between resilience and life satisfaction was stronger at lower levels of perceived social support.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that resilience may play a particularly relevant role in life satisfaction when perceived social support is limited. However, the small sample size, the predominance of women, and the selective recruitment of healthy older adults warrant caution when generalizing the results. Overall, the findings support the need to expand the study of the correlations of well-being in old age, as well as to develop intervention programs aimed at promoting optimal aging that include strategies to improve resilience and foster functional social support networks.
