Analysis of the relationship between two-way social support and health based on a latent profile analysis among migrant older adults in China: a cross-sectional study.

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: Two-way social support, involving both receiving and providing support, is an important psychosocial factor influencing older adults'health. Migrant older adults may face increased health risks due to migration-related disruption of social networks, making social support particularly important. However, existing studies have mainly focused on received support, with limited attention to patterns of both support receipt and provision. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify latent classes of two-way social support and examine their associations with health among migrant older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed, and a total of 359 migrant older adults were recruited from several communities in Huzhou, China, using convenience sampling. All participants completed a general information questionnaire, the Brief 2-Way Social Support Scale, and a health survey questionnaire. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was performed to identify subgroups of two-way social support among migrant older adults, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine the associations between the identified latent classes and health outcomes. Results: Four latent classes of two-way social support were identified using LPA: the Conclusion: The findings indicate that two-way social support among migrant older adults can be classified into four distinct patterns. Those lacking two-way support face the greatest health risk, whereas those with balanced support show the best health status. Latent profile analysis may help identify high-risk groups and guide stratified interventions to promote equitable and sustainable healthy ageing.
