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
Objective: As the aging process progresses, individuals experience various changes in physical, cognitive, and psychological domains that can directly affect their quality of life. This study aimed to compare cognitive function, depressive symptoms, fall-related behaviors, and quality of life across different age groups and to examine their associations with quality of life in older adults. Method: A total of 98 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and older, living independently in two districts of Istanbul, were included in the study. Participants were classified into three age groups: young-old (65-74 years), middle-old (75-84 years), and old-old (85 years and older). Assessments included the Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination (SMMSE), the Geriatric Depression Scale, the Falls Behavioral Scale for Older People, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Older Adults Module (WHOQOL-OLD). Results: The findings revealed that the young-old group had significantly better cognitive function, lower levels of depression, and higher quality of life scores compared to the other groups. Moreover, significant positive correlations were found between quality of life and cognitive function, while significant negative correlations were observed between quality of life and depression level across all age groups (p<0.05). Individuals who exhibited safer fall-related behaviors also demonstrated higher levels of quality of life (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results suggest that quality of life in older adults is closely associated with cognitive, emotional, and behavioral factors, highlighting the importance of age-specific, multidisciplinary assessment approaches.
