Leveraging digital technology to intervene on personality processes to promote healthy aging.
Review in Personality disorders, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The scientific evidence is clear that personality processes (particularly conscientiousness and neuroticism) play an important role in healthy aging. Assuming it would be desirable to assist individuals to change their personality in directions that would promote healthy aging, the next step is designing interventions for the task. During the past decade, technological advances have made it possible to develop and evaluate interventions delivered via web and mobile digital technologies. The purpose of this article is to discuss the possibilities for leveraging technology to intervene on personality processes to promote healthy aging, with a specific emphasis on applications for older adults. We begin by reviewing interventions that target personality change to treat mental health problems and physical health, followed by the scant research leveraging digital technologies in targeting personality processes. We present a rationale for adopting a transdiagnostic model to guide intervention development and review the brief literature supporting transdiagnostic interventions when adapted for digital delivery (transdiagnostic Internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy). We then summarize the literature on designing technology interventions to meet the specific needs of older adults and some of the impressive results from digital technology (Internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy) intervention studies. We conclude with suggestions for addressing gaps in this important but understudied area of research, with a focus on research targeted to older adults.
