Study of a Quasi-Experimental Trial to Compare Two Models of Home Care for the Elderly in an Urban Primary Care Setting in Spain: Results of Intermediate Analysis.
Trial report in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Functional dependence is associated with an increase in need for resources, mortality, and institutionalization. Different models of home care have been developed to improve these results, but very few studies contain relevant information. This quasi-experimental study was conducted to evaluate two models of home care (HC) in a Primary Care setting: an Integrated Model (IM) (control model) and a Functional Model (FM) (study model). MATERIAL AND
methodsTwo years follow-up of patients 65 years old and older from two Primary Health Care Centres (58 IM, 68 FM) was carried out, recruited between June-October 2018 in Badalona (Barcelona, Spain). Results of the mid-term evaluation are presented in this article. Health status, quality of care, and resource utilization have been evaluated through comprehensive geriatric assessment, quality of life and perception of health care scales, consumption of resources and complementary tests.
resultsA significant difference was detected in the number of hospital admissions (FM/IM 0.71 (1.24)/1.35 (1.90),
conclusionsFM offers greater continuity of care at home for the patient and reduces hospital admissions, as well as admission time, thereby saving on costs.
