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
Loneliness is described as a painful experience caused by the absence of social relationships or feelings of belonging. Furthermore, it is currently considered one of the greatest challenges in the lives of older adults. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of perceived loneliness by the 89 participants, who are students at the University of Extremadura for Older Adults. To this end, we conducted an exploratory descriptive cross-sectional study, using the ESTE II perceived loneliness questionnaire as a measurement tool. This scale allows us to assess the social support, use of technology, and social participation of these individuals. The results obtained have allowed us to observe that there are no significant differences between the different variables. However, a moderate association has been established between levels of perceived loneliness and factors such as widowhood, having a large number of children, or a lack of social or cultural leisure activities. In conclusion, it has been determined that the participants showed a low level of perceived loneliness.
