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 and Objectives: Narrative care, an essential component of person-centered care (PCC), individualized care that respects unique life stories and preferences, uses personal narratives to foster understanding, trust, and emotional well-being. Digital storytelling has emerged as a valuable tool to collect and preserve these narratives. This scoping review explored digital tools used to capture life stories of older adults, summarizing their benefits, limitations, and implications for PCC. Research Design and Methods: Studies addressing digital storytelling, life review, or life story work with older adults, published in English or Spanish, and reporting cognitive, psychological, social, or care-related outcomes were included. A systematic search was conducted in Web of Science, SCOPUS, PubMed, and PsycInfo in December 2024, identifying 615 records. After screening and full-text review, 21 studies were included. Data were extracted on study design, sample characteristics, digital tools, outcomes, and limitations. Digital resources were classified into short or long videos, digital albums/collages, digital books/stories, and other formats. Results: The review encompassed 1,551 participants (age Discussion and Implications: Digital storytelling enhances PCC by embedding personal narratives into care, but successful implementation requires addressing digital inequalities and standardizing methodologies through interdisciplinary collaboration.
