Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe aging population in India is steadily increasing, with projections estimating a rise of approximately 56 million elderly individuals by 2031. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study involving 403 elderly individuals aged 60 years and above was conducted in the field practice area of a tertiary care hospital in Tamil Nadu. Participants were selected using a multistage simple random sampling method, and data were collected through interviews and surveys. The study used the Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS) and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) to assess social networks and life satisfaction, respectively. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, with descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests employed for analysis.
resultsAmong the total participants, 67% were found to have a decent social network, while the remaining 33% had poor social networks. Decent Family, friend, and neighbor networks were observed in this demographic. Individuals with strong social networks reported higher levels of satisfaction.
conclusionSocial networking positively influences life satisfaction. Strengthening social networks and support systems can significantly contribute to promoting the well-being and quality of life of the geriatric population.
