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

objectiveTo analyze the social representations of ageism among undergraduate nursing students.

methodExploratory and descriptive study, with a quantitative and qualitative approach. Data was collected via Google Forms, investigating the sociodemographic profile of nursing undergraduates in the state of São Paulo and their perceptions of ageism. Quantitative data were subjected to statistical analysis, while the evocations were processed using the software openEvoc, based on the Theory of Social Representations (Moscovici, 2003) and analyzed according to Bardin (2015).

resultsA total of 242 students participated, with an average age of 23.8 years; 78.9% (n = 191) were female, 74.0% (n = 179) attended public universities, and 40.1% (n = 97) were in their 3rd year of undergraduate studies. On the whole, 1200 evocations were listed, organized into four categories: "Experience," "Longevity as a Process," "Stereotypes," and "Public Policies."

conclusionPositive perceptions of ageism prevailed, although negative and stereotypical terms were still recurrent. These findings reinforce the need for pedagogical strategies addressing ageism in nursing education, to promote more critical and positive attitudes towards older people.
