Toward improved homecare of frail older adults: A focus group study synthesizing patient and caregiver perspectives.
Article in Aging medicine (Milton (N.S.W)), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundAdopting a better understanding of how both older adults and health care providers view the community management of frailty is necessary for improving home health, especially facing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We conducted a qualitative focus group study to assess how both older adults and health care providers view frailty and virtual health care in home health.
methodsTwo focus groups enrolled home-living older adults and health care professionals, respectively (n = 15). Questions targeting the use of virtual / telehealth technologies in-home care for frail older adults were administered at audio-recorded group interviews. Transcribed discussions were coded and analyzed using NVivo software.
resultsThe older adult group emphasized the autonomy related to increasing frailty and social isolation and the need for transparent dissemination of health care planning. They were optimistic about remote technology-based supports and suggested that telehealth / health-monitoring/tracking were in high demand. Health care professionals emphasized the importance of a holistic biopsychosocial approach to frailty management. They highlighted the need for standardized early assessment and management of frailty.
conclusionsThe integrated perspectives provided an updated understanding of what older adults and practitioners value in home-living supports. This knowledge is helpful to advancing virtual home care, providing better care for frail individuals with complex health care needs.
