Association between Internet use and decision-making preference in older adults.
Article in Gerontechnology : international journal on the fundamental aspects of technology to serve the ageing society, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundEasy access to health-related information on the Internet has the potential to empower patients in making health-related decisions. However, little is known regarding the association between Internet use and decision-making preference in older adults. The aim of the study is to evaluate the association between Internet use and decision-making preference in older adults.
methodThe study analyzed cross-sectional data from 1,945 participants of the National Health and Aging Trends Study.
resultsOlder adults who used the Internet had greater odds of active decision-making preference (OR 1.75, 95%CI 1.22-2.52, p=0.002) compared to older adults who did not use the Internet. Similarly, older adults, who searched the Internet for health-related information, had higher odds of active decision-making preference (OR 2.16, 95%CI 1.14-4.09, p=0.019) compared to their counterparts.
conclusionInternet use was found to be associated with active decision-making preference in older adults. Similarly, health-related Internet use was positively associated with decision-making involvement in older adults.
