Single versus multicomponent intervention in frail elderly: simplicity or complexity as precondition for success?
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Research on geriatric syndromes has helped to clarify risk factors and established effective intervention strategies, yet the results based on this evidence have mostly failed to translate into clinical practice. The translation of geriatric syndrome research into practice faces unique challenges, which may heighten the barriers to evidence-based implementation. The British Medical Research Council framework (MRC) for development and evaluation of complex interventions, turns out to be very valuable in developing and evaluating interventions in the complex clinical reality of geriatrics. This paper illustrates the different phases of this framework on the basis of examples from geriatric research projects in The Netherlands. The discussed barriers in complex interventions can be mapped using the different phases in the MRC-framework and thus become feasible challenges for good quality research.
