1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: This study aimed to evaluate sociodemographic and health-related factors associated with quality of life (QoL) in older adults from Kazakhstan during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as gender- and place-of-residence differences in these factors associated with QoL. Method: This study included 445 individuals aged 60 years and above from both urban and rural areas in Kazakhstan, between June and July 2022. Sociodemographic and health-related variables were analyzed. QoL was evaluated by the Older People's Quality of Life (OPQoL) Scale. Results: The multivariate regression analysis indicated that the entire study population belonging to an ethnic group other than Kazakh ( Conclusion: Our findings suggested that various sociodemographic and health-related factors influence QoL in older adults. Furthermore, this study showed gender- and place of residence-differentiated predictors of QoL. These results call for gender and place-of-residence-responsive healthcare provision and community support services.
