Effect of interventions for health care students to develop positive attitude toward the elderly: A meta-analysis study.
Synthesis in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimThe rise in the elderly population all over the world has led to an increase in the health care needs of elderly individuals. Thus, health care professionals need programs to help them develop positive attitudes toward the elderly during their education process. This study aims to explore the effect of interventions that encourage health care students to develop positive attitudes toward the elderly.
methodsIn this research utilizing the meta-analysis method, searches were conducted across eight databases. Following the screening process, a total of 14 101 studies were retrieved, of which 13 were ultimately included in the meta-analysis.
resultsFollowing the meta-analysis, the effect size of interventions for positive attitude development toward the elderly was found to be statistically significant at 0.422 (95% confidence interval, 0.013-0.830; P = 0.043).
conclusionThirteen studies in which the effect of interventions for positive attitude development toward the elderly was examined revealed that the effect was moderately in favor of the experimental group. Although there are a large number of studies in the literature that aim to develop positive attitudes toward the elderly, well-designed studies with high methodological quality are needed to obtain high level evidence.
