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
purposeTo explore a set of psychosocial and behavioural correlates of self perceptions of aging among geriatric healthcare professionals.
methodsA cross-sectional online survey was distributed through the EuGMS and the COST Action CA21122 "PROGRAMMING" network. Self perceptions of aging, resilience, health-related lifestyle behaviours, sociodemographic, health, and subjective age data were collected. Correlations and multiple linear regressions were performed.
results176 professionals from multiple countries participated. Professionals aged 60 + showed more positive attitudes in the physical change domain compared with younger peers, while psychosocial loss and psychological growth did not differ by age. Participants who felt younger than their chronological age had higher physical change, psychological growth, and resilience scores, indicating that feeling younger was associated with more positive attitudes toward physical and psychological aspects of aging, as well as greater psychological resilience. Resilience correlated positively with physical change and psychological growth, and negatively with psychosocial loss. Participants with academic postgraduate degrees showed more positive attitudes in the psychological growth subdomain. In adjusted regression analyses, higher psychological resilience was significantly associated with lower psychosocial loss perceptions (p < 0.001) and greater psychological growth (p = 0.003). Subjective age was associated with physical change perceptions (p < 0.001). Physical activity showed significant associations with both psychosocial loss (p = 0.036) and physical change perceptions (p < 0.001).
conclusionGeriatric specialists' self perceptions of aging were associated with resilience, subjective age, physical activity, and professional factors, rather than demographic or lifestyle variables. These might be relevant targets for supporting more adaptive ageing perceptions among healthcare professionals, although causal direction cannot be inferred.
