Quality-of-life in older adults: its association with emotional distress and psychological wellbeing.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
backgroundThere is consistent evidence of the impact of depression and health on Quality of Life in older adults. However, the influence of anxiety or psychological wellbeing aspects has been less extensively studied. This study aims to assess the association between quality of life and sociodemographic characteristics (gender, age), levels of health, emotional distress (anxiety and depression) and psychological wellbeing (personal growth and purpose in life).
methodsThe survey was conducted with 361 older adults (mean age = 68.44 years) This study was of cross-sectional design.
resultsWe found that the older adults' quality of life increased when increased the levels of health, personal growth and purpose in life and when there were lower scores in anxiety and depression. This model explained 63.2% of variance. In contrast, sociodemographic characteristics did not show any association with quality of life.
conclusionsA better understanding of the factors associated with quality of life could help health professionals to develop interventions that enhance it. Efforts to address older adults' quality of life focusing on older adults' perceived health and emotional status should be considered.
