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

The proportion of older people will increase strongly in Germany in the coming years. A consequence is an increase in patient numbers particularly for age-associated diseases and multimorbidity. Higher numbers of patients mean greater use of medical services and a higher demand for home visits with older patients. Although the total population is declining, the need for doctors will increase in certain medical areas, for example in the primary care sector. In many rural areas the reoccupation of vacant practices is already becoming a problem. Innovative, flexible and regionally organized healthcare concepts are necessary to ensure adequate medical care. Duties and responsibilities must be transferred between health professions and across sector boundaries, for example on the basis of delegation concepts, telemedicine and better cooperation between the outpatient and inpatient settings.
