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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the current status of health management cognition, health beliefs, and behaviors among community-dwelling older adults in Nanning, China, and to identify factors influencing their health management behaviors using the Health Belief Model (HBM). Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2024. A convenience sample of 250 older adults (≥60 years) was recruited from an urban community in Nanning. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire, including sociodemographic characteristics, health management cognition and behavior items, and a culturally adapted Health Belief Scale (10 items, five dimensions). Reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.81) and construct validity ( Results: The overall mean health belief score was 3.42 ± 0.68. Perceived benefits (3.85 ± 0.72) and self-efficacy (3.12 ± 0.81) were the highest and lowest-scoring dimensions, respectively. Only 54.4% of participants had ever received health management services. Binary logistic regression revealed that higher educational level (OR = 1.38, 95% CI Conclusion: Health management behaviors among older adults in Nanning are jointly determined by modifiable health beliefs (perceived benefits, self-efficacy) and socioeconomic resources (education, income). Public health interventions should integrate benefit-focused education, self-efficacy enhancement programs, and structural strategies to reduce access barriers for disadvantaged subgroups, particularly those with lower education and income levels.
