Thai Older Persons' Digital Capacity and Application of Technology for Healthy Aging: A Mixed-Method Study.
Article in Journal of aging research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Thailand has aged fast, becoming a superaging society. Simultaneously, ongoing rapid digital transformation puts older people at risk of being left behind. Research assessing the digital skills of older people and their application of digital technology for health is a literature gap. Method: This study is an explanatory-sequential design mixed-method study. Community survey of 500 community older adults in Northern Thailand applied London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) digital skills instrument to measure "operational internet skills," "information navigation skills," "social skills," "creative skills," and "mobile skills" and perceived health and technology use for health promotion. Quantitatively, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney Results: The mean age of the participants was 68.36 years, of which 69% were female. Ordinal logistic regression identified that higher "social skills" positively influenced self-rated health ( Conclusion: Therefore, it is urgent to enhance digital skills and internet use among older populations to promote healthy aging.
