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

introductionNursing home websites are critical resources for older adults and their families in making care decisions. This study examines the content of Canadian and Korean nursing home websites, focusing on how these messages reflect each country's distinct values. METHODOLOGY: A content analysis of 102 Canadian and 102 Korean nursing home websites was conducted, examining message valence, regulatory focus, cultural values, target audience, and beneficiaries.

resultsCanadian websites emphasized positive, promotion-focused messages that highlighted individual choice, with more individualistic statements targeting residents and mentioning personal benefits. Korean websites used more negative, prevention-oriented messages that alluded to risks, collective responsibility, and family benefits. Despite these differences, both cultures showed a similar overall frequency of positive and promotion-focused messages. DISCUSSION: These findings reveal culturally congruent messaging strategies that align with each country's cultural norms, illustrating how nursing home websites use culturally specific messages to appeal to older adults and their families.
