C, W, M, H: cells, worms or flies, mice, humans. Dark: independent labs found the same change there. Light: one lab or one study. Outline: nothing yet.

Labs are independent when their papers share no last author and no institution.

Against: findings that point the other way from most findings on the same outcome.

  2. Objective social support decreases functional ability decline in humans.

    “Functional ability decline over time was buffered by objective support among robust individuals”

  3. Objective social support has no effect on functional ability decline in humans.

    “and was not changed by objective support.”

Cognitive function

1 study

  1. Objective social support impairs cognitive function in humans (β = -0.189, p < 0.001).

    “objective support increased the possibility of cognitive decline in depressed older people aged 70-79 years (β = -0.189, p < 0.001)”
