[Socio-gerontechnology-a research program on technology and age(ing) at the interface of gerontology and science and technology studies].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2021. 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
backgroundA vast body of gerontological research addresses the questions how and why older adults use new technologies or not. While the majority of them advocate a differentiated understanding of age(ing), most are based on a narrow understanding of technology, reducing it to manifest artefacts. To broaden such an understanding, gerontology can learn from science and technology studies (STS). This article discusses STS approaches and perspectives on age(ing) and technologies as well as their compatibility with gerontological research. MATERIAL AND
methodsBased on state of the art literature in STS, this research overview addresses two questions: which aspects does an STS perspective on age(ing) and technologies emphasize? Which concepts are being used in STS to research age(ing) and technologies?
resultsRespective research analyzes firstly, how (negative) images of ageing are inscribed into technologies throughout the design and development process and secondly, the creative everyday interactions between older adults and technologies. In doing so, images of ageing, technological artefacts, developers and older (non)users are equally conceptualized as agential.
conclusionThe paper outlines a socio-gerontechnological research agenda by outlining three thematic areas: (1) materialities of ageing that exceed innovative technology, (2) the relations between images of ageing and technological innovation discourses, and (3) the technological agency of older adults.
