The Promotion of Preventive Behaviours in Healthcare Services: A Quantitative Study Among Older Adults in Spain.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2025. 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
rationalePreventive health is an emerging area of growing interest that not only influences the well-being and health of the population but also has effects on the economy. AIMS AND
objectivesThis work analyzes the 'buttons' that can be pushed to influence preventive health behaviours. The aim is to study how the perception of severity and risk of a disease influence preventive behaviours. In addition, the possible limitations associated with this type of action, in the form of rejection of imposed preventive health behaviours, are assessed.
methodsThe data come from a quantitative cross-sectional study in which information was gathered from a sample of adults over the age of 65 with a chronic disease.
resultsWhen actions that restrict the freedom of older adults are imposed, their adoption of preventive health behaviours is not impaired by the lack of freedom per se, nor by the anger elicited by this situation. However, the negative thoughts provoked by the lack of freedom decrease preventive behaviour compliance. In addition, preventive health behaviours can be incentivized by convincing older adults of the negative consequences of the health threat which is to be avoided. On the contrary, the susceptibility, or possibility of experiencing the health threat, does not influence their motivation to engage in preventive health behaviour.
conclusionAccording to the results, information on preventive health behaviours should be aimed at improving the perception of autonomy, reducing negative cognitions, and communication campaigns should prioritize risks associated with the severity of the threat over those associated with vulnerability.
