[Loneliness in nursing homes-Experience and measures for amelioration : A literature review].
Review 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 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPublic health and health economics consider loneliness to be an important determinant of health and quality of life for all people. For older people, loneliness can be considered as possibly the most important health determinant.
objectiveThe purpose of this paper is to describe the experience of loneliness from the perspective of residents in residential long-term care and to identify interventions to reduce loneliness by caregivers. MATERIAL AND
methodsSystematic literature search and study evaluation.
resultsTalking about their loneliness is not easy for many residents. The manifestations of loneliness vary from being alone, to boredom and to not feeling at home. Interventions range from the use of laughter yoga and animal-assisted therapy to technological measures and the use of volunteers.
conclusionMeasures that focus on the spiritual level of relationship building and trust have proven to be most effective.
