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

Background and Objectives: Camera-based active and assisted living (AAL) technologies are an eminent solution to population aging but are frequently rejected by older adults. The factors that influence older adults' acceptance of these technologies remain poorly understood, which may account for their lagging diffusion. This scoping review aimed to identify the barriers and facilitators to older adults' acceptance of camera-based AAL technologies, with a view to facilitating their development and widespread dissemination. Research Design and Methods: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, ACM Digital Library, Web of Science, and gray literature databases were searched from inception to June 2024. Publications that reported data on barriers and facilitators to the acceptance of camera-based AAL technologies among community-dwelling older adults aged 60 and above were eligible. Barriers and facilitators were extracted and mapped to the theoretical domains framework, thematically clustered, and narratively summarized. Results: A total of 28 barriers and 19 facilitators were identified across 50 included studies. Dominant barriers concerned the technology's privacy-invasive, obtrusive, and stigmatizing qualities. Salient facilitators included the perceived usefulness of, and older adults' perceived need for, the technology. Discussion and Implications: Results inform practitioners' selection of strategies to promote older adults' acceptance of camera-based AAL technologies. These efforts should transcend the conventional focus on pragmatics and give credence to psychological, social, and environmental influences on technology acceptance.
