Medical conditions in geriatric hoarding disorder patients.
Article in Aging & mental health, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
unlabelledHoarding disorder (HD) in late life is associated with increased risk for fire, falling, poor sanitary conditions, disability, and health risks. However, research on the health status of individuals with HD is limited. Hoarding symptoms and the resulting clutter may exacerbate health conditions and lead to improper management of medical illnesses.
objectiveThe purpose of this study is to characterize the health status of older adults with hoarding. The rates of medical conditions will be compared to a non-psychiatric peer group.
method72 older adults with HD and 25 age matched normal controls, completed a medical conditions checklist, symptom severity measures (i.e., UCLA Hoarding Severity Scale, UHSS; Saving Inventory-Revised, SI-R) and a measure capturing activities of daily living (activities of daily living-hoarding, ADL-H).
resultsOlder adults with HD (n = 72) reported significantly more health conditions compared to their non-psychiatric peers (n = 25). Hoarding severity significantly predicted the total number of medical conditions. Further, the vast majority of HD patients reported at least one medical condition.
conclusionThis is alarming given that hoarding patients utilized health services less than typical for older adults. Given the health status of older adults with HD, interventions should target the prevention and management of medical conditions.
