1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Effective communication in healthcare settings allows for the expression of complex or technical terms in a manner that each patient can understand. Communication is also linked to increased trust, patient and family satisfaction, and mutual agreement between patients and healthcare personnel. As a result of aging, the elderly (age 65 and older) may develop physical, cognitive, and social changes that may lead to barriers when interacting with healthcare personnel. As a result of these age-related changes, the elderly ability to receive, retain, and convey information may be affected. Therefore, it is essential that healthcare personnel use appropriate language when communicating with this population. Studies have suggested that simulation can be an effective means to train healthcare personnel to develop context-appropriate communication skills for this specific population. This editorial will explore how the Speech Codes Theory (SCT) can structure simulation encounters to enhance healthcare personnel's proficiency in conversing and connecting with this patient population.
