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: Older adult care workers, as frontline providers of daily care and spiritual comfort, have attitudes that directly affect care quality. However, existing research on aging attitudes has mainly focused on nursing students and clinical nurses, with a lack of specialized studies on older adult care workers. Objective: This study aimed to explore the current attitudes toward older adults among older adult care workers in Sichuan Province and identify their influencing factors using a quantitative approach, providing an objective basis for formulating targeted intervention programs. Method: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 400 older adult care workers from 42 nursing homes in Sichuan Province from June to August 2025. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0. An independent sample t-test or one-way ANOVA was used for univariate analysis, and multiple linear regression was applied to identify related factors. Results: A total of 301 valid questionnaires were recovered. The total score of KAOPS was 118.49 ± 17.022, with 92.7% of the participants showing a positive attitude toward older adults. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that average monthly income, social support, marital status, experience of caring for older adults with agitated behaviors, and job burnout were associated with attitudes (all Conclusion: Older adult care workers in Sichuan Province generally hold positive attitudes toward older adults. Average monthly income, social support, marital status, experience with agitated behaviors among older adults, and job burnout have a significant impact on their attitudes. Targeted interventions (e.g., enhancing social support, reducing burnout) are needed to optimize their care attitudes and improve institutional older adults' care quality.
