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 qualitative study explores Slovenian healthcare professionals' perceptions of ageism in their work environments and their role in fostering relationships to prevent ageism with older adults. A phenomenological approach was used, grounded in hermeneutic phenomenology, and reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify key themes. Data were collected via eight focus groups from September 2024 to June 2025, involving 38 participants from various healthcare sectors. The study revealed that healthcare professionals acknowledge the prevalence of ageism and recognize their role in fostering respectful relationships with older adults. Key strategies for preventing ageism included empathy, interprofessional collaboration, and ongoing professional development. Organizational factors such as leadership and institutional culture were identified as critical in addressing ageism. Combating ageism in healthcare requires a multilayered approach, including education, organizational change, and systemic reforms. These findings highlight the need for integrated educational, organizational, and systemic interventions to support age-inclusive care in healthcare settings.
