Efficacy of aromatherapy for reducing stress among elderly residents in geriatric homes at Gujarat.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. 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
Elderly residents in geriatric homes frequently experience stress and aromatherapy is a safe non-pharmacological intervention. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test study was conducted among 50 elderly residents in Gujarat, who received daily lavender oil inhalation for 14 days. Stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale and mean stress scores dropped significantly from 2.74 to 1.10 (p < 0.001). Duration of stay and nature of admission were significantly associated with pre-test stress. Thus, we show that lavender aromatherapy is effective, safe and affordable for reducing stress in institutionalized elderly populations.
