How to age positively: perspectives of older adults with a low socioeconomic status using participant-driven photo-elicitation interviews.
Article in European journal of ageing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Investigating health and ageing with older adults with low socioeconomic status (SES) is challenging, because they seem to have trouble completing questionnaires containing abstract concepts such as health and ageing. Visual tools may be more suitable alternatives. Therefore, we had the following research questions: What are the perspectives of low-SES older adults on positive ageing? How do low-SES older adults experience the participant-driven photo-elicitation method? For this study, 21 Dutch participants (mean age 75 years) gathered a maximum of 10 photographs about positive ageing. Most participants collected photographs digitally, and two participants needed assistance. Two weeks later, they were interviewed and asked to reflect on their photographs and share their experience with this photo-voice method. Results showed that most photographed themes were Social Health (spending time with children and grandchildren), Activities, Nature and Animals (pets), and Foods and Drinks. Additionally, Mental Health (feeling happy and accepting losses) and Positive Ageing (focusing on the bright side of life) were also discussed. All participants said that the method was pleasant and interesting. For some it made it easier to talk about positive ageing. Perceptions concerning positive ageing involved a combination of spending time with loved ones, activities, nature, pets, eating and drinking, and also accepting losses and enjoying life. An integrated approach could be directed at these perceptions in positive health programmes for older adults with a low SES.
