[Residents with Parkinson's disease in the institutional care : A cross-sectional survey of nursing homes in Germany].
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2022. 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
backgroundThe illness trajectory of Parkinson's disease leads to a higher need for care. Little is known about the prevalence of residents with Parkinson's disease in nursing homes, the care situation and the expertise of nurses in these institutions.
objectiveThis study examined the prevalence rate of residents with Parkinson's disease in nursing homes in Germany. In addition, from the subjective point of view of nurse managers, the work of carers, the coordination as well as information and knowledge of the nursing staff were explored.
methodThe cross-sectional survey of nurse managers from 500 randomized selected nursing homes in Germany was conducted from January to June 2020. The questionnaire used was developed based on the literature. The data were analyzed descriptively.
resultsQuestionnaires from 85 residential wards in 57 care facilities were analyzed (response rate 11.4%). The prevalence rate of residents with Parkinson's disease was 13.9%. More than a half had a diagnosis of dementia (52.8%). Affected persons received regular treatment and medical consultations. There were no central coordination of care and no specially trained nursing staff. DISCUSSION: Residents with Parkinson's disease are a common occurrence and they show complex symptoms and comorbidities. The frequency of falls with hospital stays and the low number of Parkinson-specific assistive technologies showed that the knowledge of nursing staff can be increased. Central coordination and support for this should be established in long-term care.
