Integrating geriatric assessment into routine gastrointestinal (GI) consultation: The Cancer and Aging Resilience Evaluation (CARE).
Article in Journal of geriatric oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 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
backgroundIntegrating Geriatric Assessment (GA) in the management of older adults with cancer is recommended, yet rarely practiced in routine oncologic care. Our objective was to assess the feasibility of integrating routine GA in the management of older adults with gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies and characterize impairments in this population.
methodsPatients ≥60yo referred for consultation to the GI Oncology clinic were asked to complete the Cancer and Aging Resilience Evaluation (CARE) on their first visit. CARE was adapted from the Cancer and Aging Research Group GA with modifications to create a completely patient-reported version of the GA. Feasibility was defined as completion of CARE by ≥80% of eligible patients during the initial consultation.
resultsOf the eligible 354 new patients seen in the GI Oncology Clinic, 323 (91.2%) completed the CARE survey. Most patients (83.1%) felt the length of time to complete was appropriate (median time of 10 min [IQR 10-15.7 min]). GA impairments were prevalent: 54.7% reported dependence in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, 15.5% reported dependence in Activities of Daily Living, 20.9% reported ≥1 fall, 35.9% reported a performance status ≥2, 55.7% were limited in walking one block, 74.0% reported polypharmacy (≥4 medications), and 36.4% had ≥3 comorbidities.
conclusionsPerforming a GA in the routine care of older adults with GI malignancies is feasible, and GA impairments are common among this population. A fully patient-reported GA such as the CARE may facilitate broader incorporation of GA in the routine clinic work flow.
