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

objectiveDrawing on contemporary understandings of successful ageing as a multidimensional concept, this exploratory study aimed to address a critical gap in the literature by examining the unique perceptions, expectations, and hopes of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT), Sistergirl and Brotherboy people regarding successful ageing. Given the historical and ongoing discrimination faced by these communities, understanding perceptions of successful ageing is vital.

methodsLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Sistergirl and Brotherboy people were invited to complete a mixed-methods online survey about ageing and care. Responses to qualitative questions were extracted and analysed using latent content analysis to generate themes and key concepts.

resultsFindings reflected 203 participants' expectations of receiving respectful, inclusive care and support that enables them to maintain their autonomy. Living with authentic self-expression and staying connected to loved ones/community as they aged were reported as priorities. Findings highlighted the need for affordable LGBT, Sistergirl and Brotherboy-specific health and care services and accommodation.

conclusionsConcepts of successful ageing spanned physical, mental, and emotional health and social connections. These insights provide opportunities for tailoring the enhancement and provision of services to better address the expectations and hopes of LGBT, Sistergirl and Brotherboy people ageing in Australia.
