[Case management studies for individuals 65 years and older in Germany: Systematic review of the currently published state of research].
Synthesis in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe aim of this systematic review was to provide an overview on the current state of published research on case management (CM) according to the definition of the German Association of Care and Case Management (DGCC) for individuals 65 years and older in Germany. MATERIAL AND
methodsA systematic literature search was carried out for CM studies according to the DGCC in Germany since 2000 including individuals aged 65 years and older.
resultsOf the 249 abstracts retrieved a total of 14 evaluation and intervention studies of 10 different projects fulfilled the inclusion criteria. According to the results of the five evaluation studies, CM was feasible and barriers to implementation as well as satisfaction and positive effects of CM were described. The quality and outcome criteria of the intervention studies were heterogeneous. The results of the intervention studies can be interpreted as CM having positive effects on, for example hospital admissions and mortality.
conclusionOnly few and qualitatively heterogeneous studies are currently available on the intervention effects of CM in Germany among this age group. So far robust scientific evidence of this method in Germany seems to be lacking.
