Smartphone use by older adult in the healthy ageing process: a theory based on data.
Article in Revista latino-americana de enfermagem, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.

background(5) WhatsApp ® groups help older people to engage virtually with peers. to understand the feelings and recognitions of older adults when they experience the use of smartphones in everyday life, as well as the implications for the healthy aging process. qualitative research, using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology; the Senior Technology Acceptance & Adoption Model and the methodological framework of Constructivist Grounded Theory. We intentionally recruited people aged 60+; smartphone users; participants for 6 months or more in an extension project, without cognitive impairment, determined by theoretical sampling. A semi-structured script guided data collection. Constant and concomitant comparative analysis followed the steps of initial and focused coding, supported by memos, until theoretical saturation. The Sankey diagram was used to analyze the data, using Atlas.ti software. 37 participants were allocated to two sample groups. We present the category "Experiencing technological evolution during the aging process" and two subcategories: "Experiencing feelings when aging in the face of technological development"; "Using the smartphone and recognizing new experiences". when experiencing the use of smartphones, older adult understand and recognize the search for digital skills based on their need for usefulness and applicability of information and communication technology in their daily lives, integrating it into the healthy ageing process.
