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: The global prevalence of chronic diseases among the older adults population continues to rise, emerging as a core issue affecting the health and quality of life of older adults. This trend is particularly pronounced in China, which has entered a phase of deep aging society. With the rapid development of the internet, digital media technologies-represented by health science popularization short videos, offer new possibilities for self-health management in older adults. Methods: Utilizing data collected via face-to-face electronic questionnaires from 2024 to 2025 ( Results: The results indicate that watching health science popularization short videos had a significant positive effect on the self-management behavior of older adults patients with chronic conditions. Self-perceived level, medical compliance, and family caregiving level were identified as significant factors influencing both trust in the video content and self-management behavior. Content trustworthiness mediated this relationship and also directly influenced self-management behavior. Significant differences were observed based on "urban-rural location" and "extent of media exposure"; however, no significant behavioral differences were found by "gender," and "education level" and "income" did not significantly affect content trustworthiness. Conclusion: This study treats digital media use as a key research variable. The findings suggest that in promoting the adaptation of digital health services for older adults, it is essential to strengthen the credibility of health science content and address the diverse needs of older adult populations across different regions and with varying media usage habits. Furthermore, by enhancing self-efficacy and strengthening family support, among other dimensions, more targeted health behavior intervention strategies should be developed. This approach will help to fully leverage the positive role of digital media in improving health management among older adults.
