Hope level and its associated factors among widowed older adults in long-term care facilities.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundTo investigate the hope level and identify its associated factors among widowed older adults residing in long-term care facilities.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling. 228 widowed older adults meeting inclusion criteria were recruited from several long-term care facilities in Liaoning Province for face-to-face questionnaire surveys.
resultsThe hope level average score among widowed older adults in long-term care facilities was (31.73 ± 3.31). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that nine factors were significantly associated with hope levels: educational level, duration of widowhood, frequency of children’s visits, pension income, number of chronic diseases, frequency of participation in recreational activities, medical payment method, evaluation of the long-term care facility, and total perceived social support score. These factors collectively explained 81.4% of the variance in hope levels (Adjusted R² = 0.814, F = 96.027, P < 0.001).
conclusionHope levels among widowed older adults in long-term care facilities were at a moderate-low level. Nursing staff and facility administrators should pay attention to the hope levels of these residents and implement targeted interventions based on the identified associated factors to enhance hope levels and consequently improve their quality of life.
