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
backgroundErikson's ego development theory is the most accepted theory that involves eight stages of psychosocial development over an individual`s all lifespan. The result of development in prior stages will influence the later stages. The elderly were mainly characterized by the central developmental tasks: achieving ego integrity vs. despair. The harvest in the last stage will be related to the attitude of facing death in the elderly.
methodsA cross-sectional study of elderly age from 65 to 90 years old (
resultsWe found that all the eight stages were significantly related to each other, and comparing to the previous seven stages, "the generativity stage" (r = 0.77) was the most relevant stage with "ego integrity". In all indirect and direct effects, the seventh stage had the greatest impact on the "ego integrity stage"; the direct effect was 0.89.
conclusionsCompared to the whole lifespan, adulthood possessed a higher influence on the elderly stage. We found that all the eight stages were significantly related to each other, and comparing the first seven stages, the "generativity stage" (r = 0.77) was the most relevant stage to "ego integrity".
conclusionsCompared to the whole lifespan, adulthood possessed a higher influence on the elderly stage.
