"Impact of health promotion practices on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among geriatric population in Karachi, Pakistan".
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundDemographic transition has resulted in increased life expectancy among older adults that will lead to the emergence of new illnesses, long-term impairments, and alterations in social attitudes. The need to prioritize actions for this population, with a focus on enhancing the quality of life, fostering autonomy and independence, and promoting active and healthy aging, has made health education for the elderly a topic of global interest due to current demographic and epidemiological changes. The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of health promotion on enhancing health-related quality of life among elderly people in Karachi, Pakistan. STUDY SETTING AND
designData was collected at a Senior Citizen & Recreation center, located near the participants' residence in Karachi, Pakistan. A well-structured generic HRQoL instrument (SF-36) short form was used because it has demonstrated strong reliability and validity among the elderly population, making it a suitable tool for assessing quality of life outcomes.
methodsOne-group pre-test and post-test interventional (Quasi-experimental) research design using a mixed method approach (Qualitative and Quantitative). Inferential statistics are drawn through paired sample t-test to compare the mean of pre-test HRQoL scores with post-test HRQoL scores. The qualitative analysis was made through a thematic categorical method.
resultsRevealed significant impact of health-promoting activities on 3 sub-scales of HRQoL. However, on other subscales of HRQoL, health-promoting interventions produced little impact.
conclusionHealth promotion can play a significant role in improving health-related quality of life.
