[Integrated care management for older people with chronic diseases in domesticity: evidence from Cochrane reviews].
Synthesis in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe number of multiple chronically ill older people is increasing and multimorbidity is associated with high utilization of health services. Integrated care management is increasingly used to address this problem; however, there is a substantial lack of reliable data on its effectiveness in this target group.
objectiveTo assess the effectiveness of components of integrated care management in adults of all ages and to estimate the transferability to older, multimorbid people in Germany.
methodsA systematic search was carried out in the Cochrane Library for Cochrane reviews (CR) on (a) the 13 most frequent health problems in old age, which (b) evaluated components of integrated care management in (c) adults of all ages. Experts assessed the transferability of the included CR to multiple chronically ill older people in Germany.
resultsOut of 1412 hits 126 CR were included. Regarding independence and functional health outcomes, 25 CR showed clinically relevant results with at least a moderate level of evidence. The following intervention components were estimated to be transferable and could be adapted to be part of an effective integrated care management for multimorbid chronically ill older people, specified by indications and taking identified barriers into account: (1) physical activation, (2) multidisciplinary interventions (3) interventions that enhance self-management, (4) cognitive therapy modalities, (5) telemedical interventions and (6) disease management programs.
conclusionThe effectiveness of the identified components in frail older patients should be assessed in care-related and patient-related randomized controlled studies.
