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

purposeQuality of life has been defined in various ways by nursing home stakeholders over the years. As such, analyzing the levels of agreement or disagreement among these stakeholders to ascertain if staff and leadership align with resident-identified factors for "good" quality of life has become important to include in the literature. This study sought to identify contributory factors to resident quality of life, as well as analyze areas of commonality in qualitative responses.

methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted at 46 Midwestern nursing homes, with residents (n = 138), nursing assistants (n = 138), social workers (n = 46), activities directors (n = 46), and administrators (n = 46), on whether each stakeholder felt residents had a good quality of life and the factors contributing to resident quality of life.

resultsOverall, the majority of residents perceived their quality of life as "good," though differences were noted in their main contributing factors when compared to staff members' and management's perspectives. Findings also demonstrated that nursing assistants most closely aligned with resident perspectives.

conclusionsGiven the implications of resident satisfaction with quality of life on multiple facets of a nursing home (e.g., survey process, financial reimbursement), it remains ever critical for management to engage residents and to truly listen to resident perspectives to enhance and ensure an optimal quality of life.
