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

Till date, research on technology design to support aging has largely adopted human-centered approaches, such as user-centered and participatory design. While this body of work continues to yield insights on technologies for older individuals, recent research is beginning to question whether other ways of knowing, that are not solely "humanistic", can yield new understandings on technologies for aging. We pick up this call, and present emerging findings from our interviews with older adults around their use of home-based intelligent voice assistants. Building upon these findings, we discuss how attuning to the nonhuman agency and the larger material world can offer new insights on technology design for aging, such as, speak to issues of technology non-use by older adults. We discuss implications of assigning responsibility and accountability beyond older adults to nonhuman actors and how it can speak to the deficit-centered narrative that often gets associated with aging.
