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: Thailand's rapidly aging population presents unique challenges, particularly in promoting health and well-being among pre-older adults. Physical deterioration and related health complications become increasingly prevalent in this demographic, affecting quality of life, independence, and community involvement. Preparing for deterioration and quality aging involves taking proactive steps to address the physical declines associated with aging while enhancing overall well-being. This approach helps ensure a high quality of life as individuals age, enabling them to remain active and independent during the transition to older adulthood. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Active Senior Program in preparing for physical deterioration and enhancing the quality of aging among pre-older adults in Prachin Buri Province, Thailand. Methods: This quasi-experimental study included 80 pre-older adults aged 50 to 59 years, divided into two groups using purposive sampling: the intervention group ( Results: The analysis showed statistically significant differences in body mass index ( Conclusion: This study highlights the effectiveness of the Active Senior Program in promoting exercise behavior, reducing body mass index, and decreasing waist circumference among pre-older adults. Nurses are crucial in implementing and supporting such interventions within primary care. Integrating this program can foster long-term health, independence, and quality aging. Sustained collaboration between healthcare providers and policymakers is essential to ensuring its long-term success and maximizing community well-being. Trial Registry Number: Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR20250217006).
