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
This study investigates sociodemographic and health-related factors associated with receiving informal and professional care, as well as unmet care needs, among adults aged 65+ in Austria, using data from the 2019 Austrian Health Interview Survey (n = 3408). Overall, 22.2% reported difficulties with at least one ADL and 43.8% with at least one IADL. Among those affected, 72.6% (ADL) and 76.2% (IADL) received help. Technical aids were reported by 35.2% with ADL and 10.6% with IADL limitations. Help from family or friends was common (58.6% ADL; 68.5% IADL), while professional support was less frequent (29.3% ADL; 19.2% IADL). Still, 27.0% of those with ADL and 18.7% with IADL deficits reported unmet care needs. Key predictors for unmet needs included older age, living alone, and chronic conditions such as depression, stroke, incontinence, and inflammatory bowel disease. These findings underscore the importance of tailored interventions to improve care access and support for older adults with functional limitations.
