Aging Adults' Motivation to Use Embodied Conversational Agents in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living: Results of Latent Profile Analysis.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. 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 rapidly increasing share of ageing adults in the population drives the need and interest in assistive technology, as it has the potential to support ageing individuals in living independently and safely. However, technological development rarely reflects how needs, preferences, and interests develop in different ways while ageing. It often follows the strategy of "what is possible" rather than "what is needed" and "what preferred". As part of personalized assistive technology, embodied conversational agents (ECAs) can offer mechanisms to adapt the technological advances with the stakeholders' expectations. The present study explored the motivation among ageing adults regarding technology use in multiple domains of activities of daily living. Participants responded to the questionnaire on the perceived importance of instrumental activities of daily living and acceptance of the idea of using ECAs to support them. Latent profile analysis revealed four profiles regarding the motivation to use ECAs (i.e., a low motivation profile, two selective motivation profiles with an emphasis on physical and psychological well-being, and a high motivation profile). Profiles were compared in terms of their acceptance of ECA usage in various life domains. The results increase the knowledge needed in the development of assistive technology adapted to the expectations of ageing adults.
