Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundLife skills and social functioning are fundamental components of healthy aging; yet, many elderly individuals face challenges in these areas, leading to a diminished quality of life and increased dependency. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe randomized controlled trial design was adopted in this investigation, with a pre-post-test control group. Data were obtained from 70 male and female populations, above the age of 60 years, and included in the trial via full enumeration sampling. Selected subjects were randomly assigned to experimental (
resultsPost-intervention Mean ± SD score for Life Skill Profile in the experimental and control group was 52.66 ± 1.80 and 20.70 ± 2.46, respectively, and score for Social Functioning was 53.46 ± 1.56 in the experimental group and 9.10 ± 2.86 in the control group, also showing a statistically significant difference (
conclusionAgeing is a natural process, and with aging, Life skills and social functioning are affected. Nurse-led brief Psychosocial Intervention significantly improved the life skill profile and social functioning of elderly individuals. Being simple, affordable, and adaptable, they can be integrated into primary and community health services. Such initiatives align with policy goals of accessibility and sustainability, while fostering independence, reducing dependency, and promoting active, healthy aging.
