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

IntroductionFuture care preparation refers to those processes during which individuals discuss with healthcare professionals or family members about their future care. This study investigated whether views on aging are associated with future care preparation and whether age moderates these associations.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey with 1,699 participants (mean age = 68 years). Views on aging indicators were perceived age-related gains and losses and expectations regarding aging. Linear regressions were used.ResultsHigher perceived age-related gains (B = 0.12; p-value <0.001) and losses (B = 0.16; p-value <0.001) and less positive expectations regarding physical health while aging (B = -0.11; p-value <0.05) were associated with higher future care preparation. Age did not moderate any association.DiscussionGiven the importance of future care preparation in ensuring optimal health outcomes for older adults, encouraging older adults to have open and frank conversations about their views on aging may be an important first step in eliciting care needs.
