[Psychotherapeutic approaches for treatment of the elderly].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThis article focusses on the possibilities, varieties, indications, and benefits of psychotherapy with elderly patients.
objectiveWhich basic principles can be differentiated, what theoretical rationales are helpful for psychotherapy with the elderly and what kind and forms of psychotherapy are available? MATERIAL AND
methodsBased on relevant references and research, clinically relevant and evidence-based psychotherapies are described, to understand the theoretical rationale, the goals, the procedure and main strategies.
resultsCognitive behavior therapy, problem solving therapy, life review therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy are available to treat various psychological and somatic problems in elderly patients. In particular, cognitive behavior therapy, problem solving therapy, and life review therapy are evidence-based and empirically validated. Evidence for interpersonal psychotherapy is mixed and for psychodynamic psychotherapy is missing.
conclusionPsychotherapy with old and very old patients is possible, well received, and successful. Age per se is no longer considered to be a relevant variable for indications of psychotherapy.
