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 registryThe 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.

Purpose in life (PiL) is an important aspect of psychological wellbeing, which can be influenced by sociodemographic factors.To analyze the relationship between sociodemographic variables and PiL in older individuals.A quantitative study that evaluated 189 participants using the PiL Scale (PLS) was conducted. Participants were divided into two groups according to median PLS score. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to assess group differences, given the non-normal distribution of variables. Spearman's bivariate correlations and a stepwise logistic regression model were applied to identify predictors of PiL.Of the total participants, 77.25% were female. The mean age was significantly lower in the high PiL group (
