Systematic review of patient-engagement interventions: potentials for enhancing person-centred care for older patients with multimorbidity.
Synthesis in BMJ open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
introductionPerson-centred care based on systematic and comprehensive patient-engagement is gaining momentum across healthcare systems. Providing care that is responsive to the needs, values and priorities of each patient is important for patients, relatives and providers alike, not least for the growing population of older patients living with multi-morbidity and associated complex care trajectories.
objectivesThe aim of this systematic review is to investigate the effects of patient engagement interventions for older patients with multimorbidity.
methodsSystematic review conducted in August 2021. Two reviewers independently screened the international databases Embase and PubMed. Reviewers carried out duplicate and independent data extraction and assessment of study quality. Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation was used to assess the quality of the evidence for each study.
resultsWe included twelve studies from primary care setting and hospitals. The included studies were heterogeneous in terms of characteristics of populations, types of interventions to enhance patient-engagement, outcome measures and length of follow-up. Nine of the 12 included studies found significant improvements in health and patient-reported outcomes such as higher quality-adjusted life-years, fewer hospital visits and disease specific symptoms. Quality of the included studies was of low to moderate.
conclusionThis review identifies potential beneficial effects of interventions to enhance patient-engagement in older adults with multimorbidity. Nevertheless, the limited and very diverse evidence-based calls for more robust studies into efficient approaches to engaging older adults with multimorbidity in care trajectories.
