Heterogeneity in Longitudinal Healthcare Utilisation by Older Adults: A Latent Transition Analysis of the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing.
Article in Journal of aging and health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundOlder adults likely exhibit considerable differences in healthcare need and usage. Identifying differences in healthcare utilisation both between and within individuals over time may support future service development.
objectivesTo characterise temporal changes in healthcare utilisation among a nationally representative sample of community-dwelling older adults.
methodsA latent transition analysis of the first three waves of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) (
resultsThree latent classes of healthcare utilisation were identified, DISCUSSION: Older adults exhibit temporal changes in healthcare utilisation which may reflect changes in healthcare need and disease progression. Further research is required to identify the factors which influence movement between healthcare utilisation patterns.
