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
objectiveIt was aimed to explore the relationship between successful aging and self-neglect and factors affecting successful aging among community-dwelling older people.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted with 316 participants aged 60 years and older in a Family Health Center (FHC). The data were collected by using the questionnaire form, Successful Aging Scale and Self-Neglect Scale. The questionnaire form includes sociodemographic characteristics, independence (Katz Daily Life Activities Scale) and well-being status (WHO-5 Well-Being Index), psychosocial support (Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale), and depressive symptoms (two questions-complaints such as feeling depressed or hopeless and loss of interest and inability to enjoy life).
resultsParticipants had a mean age of 67.5 (SD: 6.5) years, 55.4% were female. A strong positive correlation was determined between successful aging score and self-neglect score (r = 0.741, p < 0.001). Factors affecting successful aging were age, working status, education level, body mass index, physical activity, subjective health perception, health screening status, self-neglect level, depressive symptoms, independence in activities, well-being status, and psychosocial support. Gender, income status, chronic disease presence, cigarette and alcohol use, living alone, and family type did not affect it. According to multivariate linear regression, the factors affecting successful aging were age, psychosocial support presence, and self-neglect level (p < 0.05).
conclusionOlder people have low successful aging and self-neglect scores. Successful aging is better at a young age, in the presence of psychosocial support and a low level of self-neglect. It is recommended to increase the existence of psychosocial support for them and to plan interventions to reduce self-neglect.
