Article in BMC geriatrics, 2026. 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
objectiveThis study sought the impact of the Salutogenic Program on depression, self- harming behaviour and Sense of coherence among elderly individual living in an Old-age home of Bhubaneswar, Odisha. METHODS & MATERIALS: In this study Quantitative Research approach with Quasi- experimental (non randomized pre test post test) design was acquired. A number of 40 elderly (aged ≥60yrs) locating at M.P Old age home and Geriatric Centre, Bhubaneswar were sorted out for experimental group (N = 28) and control (N = 12) group by applying Purposive Sampling technique. Basic informations were gathered by applying Socio demographic data Proforma, Geriatric depression scale, Modified self-harm inventory scale and Modified Sense of coherence scale, after obtaining written informed consent from every participant. Total 4 weeks of (5session per week) Salutogenic Program for 120 min was given to elderly by splitting the experimental group into 4 groups.
resultsAnalysis disclosed that after Salutogenic Program, using inferential statistics, the experimental group displayed that depression level was decreased (before intervention 8.43 ± 3.120 and after intervention 5.04 ± 1.732), self-harming behaviour was reduced (before intervention 8.64 ± 2.329 and after intervention 5.14 ± 1.53) and Sense of coherence was increased (before intervention 49.36 ± 9.15 and after intervention 60.82 ± 4.68). A statistically significant difference was observed in the scores of depression, self-harming behaviour and Sense of coherence in the experimental group as compared to the control group.
conclusionPresent study concluded that Salutogenic Program is effective in decreasing level of depression and self-harming behavior and increasing sense of coherence among older adults in selected old-age home.
