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

objectiveOlder adults are an untapped resource for leading sustainability change. This study assessed a pilot study of a Sustainability Ambassadors Training Program for older adults.

methodsThe pilot training program was conducted with a sample of 14 older adults over a single day, with some follow-up activities for participants at home. Activities included completing a sustainable action card-sorting activity measuring an individual's ability to make sustainable changes within their lives. A brief researcher-devised empowerment scale was administered pre- and postworkshop.

resultsQuantitative data revealed that sustainability empowerment increased from pre- to post-training sessions and was related to the number of sustainability actions participants thought were achievable.

conclusionsThe data suggest that such a brief training workshop can both yield personal change and potentially provide opportunities for a peer network to facilitate change within communities.
