1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Most aging patients have multiple concurrent health problems. However, most current medical practice and research are largely based on a single disease model, failing to account for the simultaneous presence of multiple conditions. Clinical trials, practice guidelines, and pay-for-performance schemes may thus have limited applicability in older patients. We report on the 2005 American Geriatrics Society/National Institute on Aging conference on Comorbid Disease and Multiple Morbidity in an Aging Society. The two-day conference was designed to clarify concepts of multiple concurrent health conditions; explore implications for causation, health, function and systems of care; identify important gaps in knowledge; and propose useful next steps. While the conference did not attempt to standardize terminology, we here develop the concepts of comorbidity, multiple morbidity, condition clusters, physiological health, and overall health as they were used. The present report also summarizes sessions addressing the societal burden of comorbidity, and clinical research on particular diseases within the framework of comorbidity concepts. Next steps recommended include continuing clarification of terms and conceptual approaches, consideration of developing and improving measures, as well as developing new research directions.
