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
purposeUsing data from the ninth wave of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families (KLoWF), this study aimed to examine the relationships among subjective health status, spousal shared activities, and depression and to identify factors associated with depression among married postmenopausal women.
methodsA cross-sectional secondary analysis was performed using data from 2,317 married postmenopausal women aged 40-64 years in the ninth wave (2023) of KLoWF. SPSS/WIN 30.0 was used to calculate descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficients and to conduct one-way analysis of variance and hierarchical multiple regression analyses.
resultsDepression was negatively correlated with subjective health status (r=-.35, p<.001) and spousal shared activities (r=-.05, p=.017). Subjective health status and spousal shared activities were positively correlated (r=.12, p<.001). Hierarchical multiple regression identified a significant association between subjective health status and depression (β=-.31, p<.001), but no significant association between spousal shared activities and depression (β=.02, p=.257). The final model had an adjusted R2 of .14. In exploratory analyses, depression was positively associated with watching movies, performances, and sports events with a spouse (β=.08, p<.001); none of the other shared activities had a significant association with depression.
conclusionSubjective health status had the strongest association with depression among married postmenopausal women. The findings suggest that interventions to promote mental health in this population should take subjective health status into account. Further research is needed to determine how associations with mental health outcomes vary by the specific type of spousal shared activity.
