Psychosocial characteristics among older adult clients in outpatient care.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 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
Introduction: This study investigates main psychosocial characteristics of older adults (age ≥60) in an outpatient psychotherapeutic context and to derive implications for tailored psychotherapeutic services by assessing the socio-demographic factors of this clientele, thereby deepening mental health professionals' understanding of psychotherapy for this age group. Method: The processed data were acquired during the standard initial registration protocol at the psychotherapeutic outpatient clinic for adults of the Sigmund Freud Private University Vienna (SFU). An analysis of psychosocial and clinical characteristics was conducted for n = 166 older adult clients. To operationalise the psychopathological characteristics, the instrument Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation - Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) was used. Thus, the results were obtained using one-way ANOVAs, χ Results: Older adult clients differ mainly compared with the other age groups in the following characteristics: lower educational levels [19.3%; χ Discussion: This study demonstrates that older adult clients are similar to the other age groups in many psychosocial aspects but are additionally confronted with specific age-related challenges. Psychosocial care institutions should take these challenges into account.
