[Health companion : Findings from the testing of a new volunteering profile].
Review 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 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
backgroundFor many (older) people, especially those with chronic diseases, it is a challenge to maintain or develop a health-promoting lifestyle. Knowledge and possibilities of organizing one's own everyday life accordingly are distributed in a socially unequal way; loss of mobility and lack of support and a diluted supply structure in rural areas are further obstacles. As part of the development of a model health center in a rural neighborhood, an approach to health support based on voluntary work was developed and tested, in which volunteers (n = 10) were appointed as peers.
objectiveThis article describes the theoretical embedding, the conceptual framework of the training (participative learning) and the volunteering profile (outreach support) as well as the effects achieved. On the basis of project experiences and selected evaluation results both beneficial factors as well as challenges were identified. These have to be considered in the further development of the volunteering profile and its implementation in the practice. MATERIAL AND
methodsFor the evaluation a mixed methods design was applied at two measurement points. In the surveys 14 accompanied persons were included. The qualitative data were analyzed by qualitative content analysis according to Mayring and the quantitative data by descriptive statistics.
resultsThe results show that chronically ill (older) people are reached by the voluntary health companion (eGb). The outreach support has positive effects on the receivers and leads to concrete changes in behavior.
conclusionFor the further development, dissemination and consolidation of the eGb, various challenges need to be addressed and adjustments are necessary.
