Descriptive study of nursing home residents from the REHPA network.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
introductionTo date, very little research has been carried out in nursing homes and it is difficult to make recommendations for quality of care that are based on actual data. The Réseau de Recherche en Etablissement d'Hébergement pour Personnes Agées (REHPA) is a functional network established in collaboration between the geriatric department of Toulouse University Hospital and 240 nursing homes with the aim of compensating for the lack of evidence-based recommendations and of enhancing research. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional observational study was conducted between January and March 2008. The number of residents included (randomly selected by birth date) depended on the total number of residents of the facility. Demography, medical and drug history, disabilities and care practices were assessed by geriatrician.
resultsWe report the findings in 4896 residents of 240 nursing homes. Residents were 73.9% women, mean age 85.7 +/- 8.8 years, mean weight 61.9 +/- 14.8 kg, with a mean ADL score of 2.8 +/- 2.1. Dementia was diagnosed in 43.5% (of whom only 50.9% were treated), 19.6% showed aggressive behaviours, 10.8% exhibited disruptive vocalization and 10.9% were wanderers, 27.4% were treated with antipsychotic medications, 54.4% had hypertension, 8.7% had diabetes, 14.8% were osteoporotic, 4.1% had fallen during the previous week, 37.9% were in pain and 19.8% had lost weight. The mean Charlson index score was 1.6 +/- 1.4. Finally, 13.5% had been admitted to hospital within the previous three months.
conclusionThe survey identifies specific issues in order to target future research in the nursing home setting.
