Synthesis in Gesundheitswesen (Bundesverband der Arzte des Offentlichen Gesundheitsdienstes (Germany)), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundDespite trends toward longer-lasting health, the complexity of older people's health problems is increasing, raising the need for interprofessional care in all settings. A lack of coordination among providers risks fragmented care, leading to a repetition or gaps in services, conflicting treatment recommendations, medication errors and higher costs. Accordingly, new integrated models of care are needed that are based on patient needs. Case and Care Management (CCM) is currently being tested in Germany in a variety of settings to improve care. AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of the present study was to analyze the results of health economic evaluations of CCM interventions in Germany in populations over 60 years of age compared to standard care. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study is based on a systematic literature review conducted via Pubmed and Livivo and supplemented by a comprehensive hand search. The primary studies included for analysis were assessed using the CHEERS statement and narratively synthesized.
resultsA total of five cost-effectiveness studies were included, predominantly based on randomized controlled trials. Results regarding cost effectiveness were mixed. Individual studies found significant differences on effectiveness and cost endpoints.
conclusionsThe mixed, small number of studies does not currently provide a clear picture of whether CCM interventions have health economic advantages over standard care. Further research is indicated. Innovation fund projects on the topic area are expected to generate new evidence in the future.
