1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Climate change poses significant challenges to people and societies at regional, national, and global levels. The associated extreme weather events increasingly affect older and very old people, particularly in rapidly ageing societies such as Germany. However, the diversity of ageing is not systematically considered in the discourse on adaptation strategies and environmentally conscious behavior. In particular, the oldest old who depend on care are often overlooked in both gerontology and environmental research.This article aims to shed light on the research field emerging at this intersection. First, we present the current state of research in gerontology and in environmental and sustainability research, before we outline their relation. Then, we identify gaps in the literature concerning adaptation strategies for the oldest old and their opportunities for environmentally conscious behavior. We conclude with a look at future theoretical and empirical development opportunities and necessities in this field.
