Changes in Mood in New Enrollees at a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly.
Article in The Consultant pharmacist : the journal of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04339634 (Simulation of Risk of Adverse Drug Events Associated With the Initiation of Drugs Repurposed for the Treatment of COVID-19 in Frail Elderly Adults With Polypharmacy), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectivesTo examine changes in mood after nine months of enrollment in a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).
designCohort study.
settingAlexian Brothers PACE, St. Louis, Missouri.
participantsNewly enrolled patients 55 years of age and older, living in the PACE service area, eligible for nursing facility care and able to live safely in the community, with continuous care, for at least nine months (N = 182).
main outcome measuresGeriatric Depression Scale (GDS)-15 score at the pre-admission evaluation (PAE) and the nine-month evaluation (9ME).
resultsOf the 182 patients evaluated, 27% (n = 49) met the definition of depression as defined by the GDS-15 score of ≥ 6 at the PAE. At the 9ME, only 11% of patients met the depression criteria (P < 0.001). Of the patients who met the criteria for depression at the PAE, 80% of patients (n = 39) no longer met these criteria at the 9ME (P = 0.029). Similar findings were observed by age, gender, and race. Greater improvement was observed among those who were depressed at the PAE; the depressed cohort improved by 5.0 points (P < 0.001) on the GDS-15 scale from the PAE to the 9ME, whereas the nondepressed cohort improved by 0.6 points (P = 0.003).
conclusionThe use of PACE as an alternative intervention may be a good option to improve mood in older adults.
