Technology-Based Solutions for Combating Loneliness and Isolation in Geriatric Care: A Narrative Review.
Review in Clinics in geriatric medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This narrative review evaluates the potential of technology-based solutions to address loneliness and isolation among older adults and their caregivers. It examines the benefits and limitations of interventions such as videoconferencing, social media, virtual reality, artificial intelligence chatbots, robotic companions, and wearable devices. Although these technologies can enhance social engagement, they must be tailored to the cognitive, physical, and cultural needs of geriatric populations. The authors propose that technology-based solutions could contribute to reducing social isolation and loneliness when they are used to foster online or in-person social contacts. It highlights the need for further research to evaluate long-term efficacy.
