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.

Research on aging at work has seldom focused on older adults professionally engaged in artistic activities, particularly across different craft sectors, in contrast to the extensive research on art-based interventions aimed at promoting well-being among older individuals. This study aims to describe the perceptions of health, quality of life, and happiness among older professional artisans from a UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art in Portugal, and examine the associations with sociodemographic and professional variables. A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving primary data collection through a survey administered in the participants' (
