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

backgroundCeasing driving for older people is a life transition and can be associated with a sense of loss and decreased wellbeing. Nurses can play a key role in supporting the older person to manage the transitions, especially as the work involved in ceasing driving is often hidden. For example, finding alternative and accessible means of travel and maintaining mobility. Travel itself can be viewed as essential, for example attending health appointments and shopping. Discretionary travel may not be viewed as essential, but provides an important means of maintaining activity and social connection.

methodA case study is presented of Mike's journey in ceasing driving. The concept of transition helps in co-creating with Mike his journey of discovery. Semi-structured interviews took place with Mike over a six-month period and a journey pathway created, which was subject to further iterations during subsequent interviews.

resultsCeasing driving involves a number of transitions encompassing a series of losses, managing uncertainty, problem-solving and learning new skills. Being able to access and adapt to maintain mobility and travel are influenced by structural and environmental barriers.

conclusionThe World Health Organization's strategy to create age-friendly cities and communities is admirable. Like any other strategy this is a long-term plan, and in meantime action needs to happen to support older people in ceasing driving and creating a non-driving life and limit a decrease in well-being. Starting conversations on transitional travel planning is proposed, with nurses playing a central role in making this process happen.
