A review of web-based chronic disease self-management for older adults.
Article in Gerontechnology : international journal on the fundamental aspects of technology to serve the ageing society, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo examine the current evidence related to the efficacy of web-based chronic disease self-management interventions (web-based SM) for older populations.
methodsA search of experimental and quasi-experimental publications related to older adults and web-based SM was conducted. The search identified 12 articles representing 10 distinct studies that were used for review and critique.
resultsArticles most frequently investigated web-based SM targeting diabetes and heart disease. Interventions incorporated a variety of technologies including visual-charting, instant messenger, among others. Overall the web-based SM for older adults resulted in positive effects for most outcomes, including: healthcare utilization, depression, loneliness, social support, quality of life, self-efficacy, anxiety, disease specific outcomes, functioning levels, diet, exercise, and health status. DISCUSSION: While these studies suggest that web-based SM may be effective in producing positive health outcomes for older adults, more research is needed to focus on the efficacy and appropriateness of such interventions for older adults.
