Forms of support giving and receiving, and their associations with self-rated health and general self-efficacy among older adults in Switzerland.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. 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
Our aim was to examine associations between determinants of functional ability as defined by the World Health Organization: intrinsic psychological domain captured by general self-efficacy and self-rated health, and social environment captured by support given and received. 286 Swiss-based older adults, recruited via multiple channels, completed a web-based survey. Older adults reported providing more support than they perceived receiving, particularly within informal networks of spouses/partners, children, friends, and neighbors. They also reported high levels of general self-efficacy and good to very good self-rated health. Out of thirteen forms of support giving and receiving, only providing support to friends/acquaintances and to fellow club/association members correlated positively with general self-efficacy. Self-rated health showed negative associations with receiving support from various sources, but was unrelated to providing support. On the basis of these results, we propose new avenues for examining associations between social support, general self-efficacy, and self-rated health.
