1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe aim of the present study was to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial well-being of older Australian retirees.

methodsThirty Australian retirees (16 females and 14 males), older than 65 years of age, were asked 'Have your finances been affected by the events surrounding COVID-19?'. Data were analysed using Braun and Clarke's six-step approach, and Bronfenbrenner's socio-ecological model was utilised to analyse thematic responses at individual, household, community and societal levels.

resultsTwo COVID-19-related themes emerged from interviews: COVID-19 and increased financial stress and COVID-19 and frustration with digital banking.

conclusionsThis study revealed that the financial well-being of older Australians and especially self-funded retirees has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants felt financially worse off primarily due to the volatility of the financial markets, the need to support adult children and the increased cost of living. Also, participants expressed their hesitation and frustration with digital banking services, and their desire for greater personal contact with financial institutions, particularly during times of uncertainty.
