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

This study examines the differential effectiveness of video-based versus text-based anti-fraud educational interventions in improving cognitive comprehension, emotional engagement, and behavioral intentions among older adults. Using a stratified sample of 220 older adults aged 60 and above, the findings reveal that video-based materials significantly outperform text-based interventions in enhancing cognitive comprehension, emotional engagement, and behavioral intentions related to fraud prevention. Conversely, text-based materials offer more structured and detailed informational guidance, effectively heightening older adults' awareness of financial vulnerabilities, although generating comparatively lower emotional engagement. By introducing and validating a multimodal approach that strategically integrates video and text, this research addresses a critical gap in current anti-fraud education strategies tailored to older adults' diverse cognitive and emotional needs. The results carry substantial implications for policymakers and educators aiming to enhance older adults' resilience to financial fraud, particularly amidst increasingly sophisticated threats such as artificial intelligence-enhanced scams.
