1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To pilot a digital health technologies ecosystem known as project SingaporeWALK ( Materials and Methods: The SingaporeWALK ecosystem was set up through 3 initiatives: (1) co-developing technologies with stakeholders; (2) raising digital literacy and capacity building; and (3) cultivating community and intergenerational bonding for active aging through gamified technology use. Results: Significant improvements in older adults' self-reported physical and mental health post-intervention were observed. Discussion: The SingaporeWALK project demonstrated that digital health technologies, when designed with inclusivity and community engagement, could significantly empower active aging. Conclusion: This project underscored the necessity of a collective and community-centered approach to maximize the efficacy of digital health technologies to support older adults in active aging globally.
