Smart home technology to support older people's quality of life: A longitudinal pilot study.
Article in International journal of older people nursing, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimThis pilot study aimed to explore the impact of Smart Home technology to support older people's quality of life, particularly for those who live alone.
backgroundThere has been an increased interest in using innovative technologies and artificial intelligence to enable Smart Home technology to support older people to age independently in their own homes.
methodsThis study used a pre-and post-test design. The seven item Personal Wellbeing Index was used to measure participants' subjective quality of life across seven quality of life domains. Participants (n = 60) aged between 68 and 90 years (M = 80.10, SD = 5.56) completed a 12-week personalised Smart Home technology program.
resultsApproximately half of the participants lived alone (48.3%). Participants' quality of life significantly increased (p = 0.010) after Smart Home use. Two domains, "achieving in life" (p = 0.026) and "future security" (p = 0.004), were also significantly improved after participating in the Smart Home technology program. Improvements in quality of life did not vary as a function of living arrangement (all ps > .152, all
conclusionThe current study provides preliminary evidence for the role of Smart Home technology in supporting older people's quality of life, particularly their sense of achieving in life and future security.
