Factors affecting well-being among retired older adults: A protocol for an umbrella review.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundAs global populations age, retirement has emerged as a critical life transition influencing well-being across physical, mental, social, financial, and spiritual domains. Although numerous systematic reviews have examined aspects of well-being in retirement, the evidence remains fragmented, with limited integration across domains. No umbrella review has comprehensively synthesized determinants and interventions influencing multidimensional well-being among retired older adults.
methodsThis protocol describes an umbrella review that will synthesize evidence from systematic reviews examining factors and policy, programmatic, community-based, or other supportive efforts associated with physical, mental, social, financial, and spiritual well-being among retired older adults. The review follows Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for umbrella reviews and is reported in accordance with PRISMA-P guidance. The search strategy was developed in consultation with a knowledge synthesis librarian and peer reviewed using the PRESS guidelines. Database searches were conducted in MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for articles published from 2015 onward. Backward and forward citation searching will be undertaken. Two reviewers will independently screen records, extract data, and appraise methodological quality using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Systematic Reviews and Research Syntheses. Findings will be synthesized narratively. This protocol has been registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251158970). DISCUSSION: This umbrella review will provide an integrated, high-level synthesis of existing evidence on well-being in retirement, informing future research, policy, and practice aimed at supporting holistic and equitable aging.
