Examining subjective views of the aging process in older adults: a systematic review following the COSMIN methodology.
Synthesis in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundThis systematic review is intended to identify, categorize, and evaluate instruments assessing generalized and personal views of aging (VoA) in older adults as well as how these instruments have addressed views of changes in cognition with aging.
methodsThe Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed, and the review was preregistered in PROSPERO (CRD42023407986). Studies presenting VoA instruments, also including a specific focus on views of changes in cognition with aging, were identified using the Scopus, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases. Based on the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) guidelines, risk of bias and GRADE assessments were conducted for each instrument.
resultsOf the 3,578 records emerged, 77 studies assessing measurement properties of 26 VoA instruments in samples of older adults were included. These instruments reflected diverse generalized and personal VoA concepts; few ones assessed or included items depicting views of changes in cognition with aging, with memory being the most frequently addressed cognitive domain.
conclusionsNotwithstanding psychometric and measurement issues, this review provides a comprehensive summary of existing instruments assessing subjective VoA, which have clinical and applied utility in promoting healthy aging, especially for older adults at risk of pathological aging. The development and validation of new VoA scales, particularly to assess views on age-related cognitive changes with aging, is warranted.
