Effect of AI intervention programs for older adults on the quality of life: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Review in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: The extension of life expectancy due to medical advancements has resulted in global aging and increased social costs for elder care. Additionally, stringent health measures related to infectious disease pandemics have adversely affected the quality of life for older adults. This study investigates AI-based interventions to address quality of life issues. Objective: This study systematically examines AI interventions for the older adults, focusing on randomized experimental studies, and aims to provide guidelines for future intervention programs through meta-analysis. Method: A comprehensive meta-analysis that examines the impact of various AI interventions on the overall quality of life experienced by older adults has been conducted, encompassing thirteen randomized controlled trials. Results: The overall effect size of AI intervention programs on the quality of life in the older adults, assessed using the random-effects model, was found to be small (Hedges' g = 0.30, 95% CI = 0.10-0.51). Additionally, the effect size of quality of life was examined based on the subfactors of the AI intervention program, revealing a range of 5-11 weeks. Robot intervention exhibited a higher effect size than smart device intervention. Conclusion: To improve the quality of life of older adults, further investigation is warranted, including a follow-up study to develop a AI-based intervention program tailored to the type of AI program and intervention duration.
