Associations between Perception of Help-Seeking Behaviors and Quality of Life among Older People in Rural Communities: A Cross-Sectional Study.
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 6 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
Older people's help-seeking behaviors (HSBs) may be limited because of various factors and are essential in improving healthcare in aging societies. This cross-sectional study investigated the association between perception of HSBs, concrete HSBs, quality of life (QOL), and other variables among people over 65 in rural Japan using standardized questionnaires. Participants were divided into high or low health status index score groups based on a median split. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between perception of HSBs and high QOL while controlling for age, sex, living conditions, annual health checks, having chronic diseases, regular clinic visits, smoking, habitual alcohol consumption, education, living conditions, social support, social capital, socioeconomic status (SES), and health literacy. Participants in the high QOL group were younger (
