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
Background: Older inpatients with schizophrenia have lower social support levels that may affect clinical outcomes, yet the associated factors in this population remain underexplored. Objective: To explore the factors associated with social support in older inpatients with schizophrenia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 204 inpatients with schizophrenia recruited from a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Guangzhou, China, between February 2023 and December 2024. Social support and its three dimensions were assessed using the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were applied to identify factors associated with social support. Results: The mean SSRS total score was 30.26 ± 7.07. Multiple linear regression revealed that higher levels of insight (ITAQ: Conclusion: Social support among older inpatients with schizophrenia is associated with marital status, insight level, suicide risk, depressive symptoms, and disease duration. Multidimensional interventions targeting specific support dimensions are needed to improve social support in this population.
