Engagement of older adults in regional health innovation: The ECOTECH concept mapping project.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 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
objectivesRegional health innovation ecosystems can activate collaboration and support planning, self-management and development and commercialization of innovations. We sought to understand how older adults and their caregivers can be meaningfully engaged in regional health innovation ecosystems focused on health and aging-related technology innovation.
methodsA six-phase concept mapping technique gathered data over six time points across Canada. Brainstorming conducted online and in person identified engagement ideas. Statements were sorted by similarity and rated by participants on importance and feasibility. Qualitative approaches and multidimensional scaling, hierarchical cluster analysis, descriptive statistics and
resultsSixty-two unique ideas were assembled into a seven-cluster framework of priorities for engagement in regional health innovation ecosystems including public forums, co-production and partnerships, engagement, linkage and exchange, developing cultural capacity, advocacy and investment in the ecosystem.
conclusionsThis study identified a framework of priorities for directions and strategies for older adult and caregiver engagement in regional health innovation ecosystems. Next steps include collaborations to develop regional health innovation ecosystems that actively engage older adults and their caregivers in health and aging-related technology innovation.
