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

objectiveTo reach a consensus on an rapid multidimensional/geriatric assessment (RMGA) tool for all health and social professionals of Catalonia as a shared and universal system to assess patients with multimorbidities, frailty, complexity or advanced conditions.

designThree-phase consensus of professionals, combining in-person sessions with telematics. LOCATION: Catalonia.

participantsA group of 27 interdisciplinary professionals from different care settings.

methodThe Design Thinking methodology for an initial consensus on the characteristics of the RMGA tool (Phase 1) has been combined with the Lean Startup methodology to create a new RMGA tool (Phase 2), and then tested in a group of patients (Phase 3).

resultsIn Phase 1, a consensus was reached that the perfect RMGA tool should allow for an ad hoc assessment of patients, be fast and flexible (<10 min), identify altered dimensions using trigger questions and facilitate the diagnosis of the condition (ideally quantified). In Phase 2, a prototype of a new RMGA tool containing 15 + 2 questions (VIG-Express) was developed, which was then tested in 35 patients in Phase 3.

conclusionsBased on preliminary results, the VIG-Express tool seems to facilitate a simple, rapid multidimensional assessment and the customization of interventions, as well as provide a unique look and shared narrative between professionals from different care settings. More studies will be required to corroborate these findings.
