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

backgroundGeriatric and psychosomatic medicine follow a biopsychosocial paradigm. Despite this similar "Menschenbild" in general, collaboration between geriatrics and psychosomatics is still rare.

objectivesThis comparative interventional study aims to find possible effects of psychosomatic work in geriatrics on the interaction between patients and nursing staff and contentment of patients with treatment in general. MATERIAL AND

methodsIn the period of one year 238 geriatric patients (return rate 22.2%) of the intervention ward (psychosomatic consultation-/liaison service) and the control ward (TAU) were investigated with an anonymized questionnaire. Two questions were evaluated, concerning the patients trust in the nurses and their experience of being able to speak with them about their anxieties and concerns. This is interpreted as an indicator for the advancement of patients' contentment with treatment.

resultsIn comparison with the control ward during the intervention the answers to both questions showed an increasing trust in the nurses and an increasing experience of speaking about anxieties and concerns with the nurses. This is evaluated as some evidence for the promotion of the patients' contentment with the treatment

conclusionA psychosomatic consultation-/liaison service in geriatric medicine generates a positive effect on the relationship between patients and nursing staff, especially concerning trust and acceptance in existential situations of illness and limitation in hospital.
