Older Adults Perceptions of Data Privacy in Smart Technologies: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Sage open aging. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Older adults' perspectives on data privacy and smart health devices (SHDs) are essential for understanding potential security risks. However, limited research examines these perspectives. This qualitative study addresses this gap. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 42 older adults residing in a Midwestern State. Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis and five themes were developed: (1) Tools for Sustained Self-Management - indicating the use of SHDs to manage chronic health conditions and improve health, and for non-medical purposes; (2) Tools for Health and Reassurance - revealing convenience of SHDs and utility to promote healthy behaviors; (3) Uncertainty and Limited Awareness of Data Governance - highlighting lack of awareness regarding who accesses, collects, stores, and owns SHD data, and limited understanding of privacy practices; (4) Perceived Security Through Trust and Low Risk Appraisal - documenting low perceptions regarding sensitivity of data and placing trust in institutions to safeguard data, and (5) Exercising Control Over Data Sharing - showing the desire to control the sharing of personal data. Findings highlight the need for improved digital literacy education, particularly on how SHDs manage data. They further highlight the need for SHD developers to include older adults in discussions about data governance and device design.
