Exploring ageism and ageing anxiety: a cross-sectional study in Egypt.

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
backgroundAgeism and ageing anxiety are obstacles to health equity in the community. This study aims to assess ageism and ageing anxiety in Egypt and to elaborate on factors associated with ageism among Egyptians.
methodWe conducted a cross-sectional online survey on 359 adult Egyptians using a predesigned questionnaire to assess socio-demographic factors, the Fraboni Scale on Ageism (FSA), the Ageing Anxiety Scale (AAS), one question about contact with older adults, and another question about religiosity.
resultsThe mean age of respondents was 27.91 years (SD = 8.99), with over half aged between 18 and 25 years, and the majority being women (68%). The mean total score of ageism was 72.79 (6.3) out of 116, while the mean total score of anxiety of ageing was 54.33 (8.83) out of 100. Male gender (B = 0.117, p = 0.024), infrequent contact with older adults (B = 0.163, p = 0.002), ageing anxiety (B = 0.238, p = 0.000), and insufficient income (B = 0.202, p = 0.007) were associated with increased ageism scores.
conclusionThe observed associations between ageism and factors such as male gender, infrequent contact with older adults, insufficient income, and ageing anxiety highlight the potential need for focused educational initiatives. Implementing comprehensive educational programs that not only inform individuals about the ageing process but also promote positive intergenerational interactions could serve as a promising strategy to combat ageism.
