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
Background and Aims: Aging is accompanied by various physical, psychological, and social changes that can adversely affect the quality of life (QoL). Psychological constructs such as wisdom and sense of coherence (SOC) are believed to serve as important protective and promotive factors in maintaining QoL in older adults. This study aimed to examine the relationship between wisdom, SOC, and QoL among elderly individuals referred to hospitals in eastern Guilan, northern Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted in 2024 with a sample of 200 elderly patients selected through multistage cluster sampling from general hospitals. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire, the Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT), the CASP-19 Quality of Life Scale, the Antonovsky SOC-13, and the Wisdom Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21, employing descriptive statistics, partial correlation analyses, and multivariate linear regression ( Results: The majority of participants were male (66.5%) and aged 60-74 years (66.5%). The mean scores for wisdom, SOC, and QoL were 75.35 ± 8.81, 52.88 ± 10.84, and 38.10 ± 6.58, respectively. Mean scores for wisdom, SOC, and QoL were 75.35 ± 8.81, 52.88 ± 10.84, and 38.10 ± 6.58, respectively. Wisdom ( Conclusion: Wisdom and sense of coherence are significant psychological predictors of quality of life among hospitalized elderly individuals. Designing interventions to enhance these internal resources may help promote psychological well-being and life satisfaction in this population.
