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
Introduction: Intergenerational engagement programs aim to foster meaningful interactions between older adults and younger generations by using community resources and participation. These interventions strive to create age-integrated families and communities sustainably, emphasizing the valuable contributions older adults can make to the growth and development of children and adolescents. Methods: This study, part of the 'Sahjeevan: Chaitanya natyanche' project in 18 villages of Wardha district, India, adopted a participatory qualitative approach using the Most Significant Change (MSC) method. Stakeholders, including panchayat members, master trainers, peer trainers, and Anganwadi workers, participated in identifying significant community changes. Initially, ten stories highlighting changes resulting from the interventions were collected and categorized into three domains: individual, family, and community-level changes. A selection rubric was developed to assess the significance of these stories. Subsequently, a selection committee panel evaluated and selected the five most significant stories of change. Results: The selected stories provided comprehensive insights into the key areas where the project activities positively influenced beneficiaries' lives. These narratives offered an in-depth understanding of both beneficiaries' and stakeholders' perspectives on the project's implementation and impact. Conclusion: The participatory approach proved effective in capturing meaningful narratives of intergenerational engagement. The process facilitated reflection and dialogue among community members, highlighting how older adults contributed to the growth and learning of younger generations. This engagement fostered stronger intergenerational bonds, reinforcing the project's vision of building age-integrated communities where mutual learning and support thrive within the Indian context.
