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

The ultimate goal of developed societies is to age with quality of life, but this concept is broad, and few studies have addressed which variables specifically affect its dimensions. This study aims to test a model for predicting the impact of frailty, pain, and loneliness on the four dimensions of quality of life (control, autonomy, pleasure, and self-realization). Data were drawn from a sample of 61,355 Europeans from the Wave 7 of the SHARE project, aged 60 or older (M = 71.87, SD = 8.22), from which 55.9% were females. Statistical analyses included a fully Bayesian structural equation model that evidences the significant effect of loneliness, frailty, and pain on the four dimensions of quality of life. The variables have an unequal impact on the different dimensions' loneliness was the main predictor for the dimensions control, autonomy, and pleasure, while frailty was the main predictor to self-realization. This study supports the need to address these variables to intervene on the different aspects of quality of life in old age.
