Effects of participatory art-based painting workshops in geriatric inpatients: results of a non-randomized open label trial.
Trial report in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundArt-based activities like painting workshops demonstrated health benefits in older individuals living in home care facilities. Few studies examined the effects of painting workshops in geriatric inpatients.
aimThe study aims to examine whether the participation in painting workshops performed in patients admitted to a geriatric acute care ward reduced the number of medications taken daily, use of psychoactive medications, the length of stay and inhospital mortality.
methodsBased on a non-randomized open label trial, 79 inpatients who participated in painting workshops and 79 control inpatients were recruited in the geriatric acute care ward of the Jewish general hospital (Montreal, Quebec, Canada). Four outcomes were used: the number of medications taken daily and use of psychoactive medications the day of discharge to geriatric acute care ward, the length of hospital stay and inhospital mortality.
resultsThe participation in Painting workshops were associated with a lower number of medications taken daily at discharge (Coefficient of regression β = - 1.35 with P = 0.001) and lower inhospital mortality (odd ratio (OR) = 0.09 with P = 0.031). No significant association was reported with use of psychoactive medications and length of stay.
conclusionThe participation in painting workshops reduced the number of medications taken daily and incident inhospital mortality in geriatric inpatients admitted to a geriatric acute care ward, suggested a positive effect on health condition of this participatory art-based activity.
