Effectiveness of Nurses' Training in Identifying, Reporting and Handling Elderly Abuse: A Systematic Literature Review.
Review in Geriatrics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The elderly population globally is estimated to grow by one-third of the world's population by the year 2050. At the same time, elder abuse and neglect have been acknowledged as major growing concerns. With the growing elderly population and increasing concerns about elder abuse, understanding the ways to deal with elder abuse is important. The healthcare professionals, especially nurses, are among the first groups who come in contact with the elderly population and can identify and assess cases of elder abuse. There is evidence to suggest that nurses lack knowledge in the assessment, identification, management, and reporting of an elder abuse case. This study aims to explore the available literature in the effectiveness of training programs for nurses in elder abuse management. The search strategy included the electronic databases CINHAL, Medline, and Health Source. A total of 646 research articles published between 2010 and 2021 were screened against inclusion and exclusion criteria. After reviewing and removing duplicates and irrelevant studies, 14 articles were included in this review. The findings of this literature review revealed that providing education and training for nurses in elder abuse can enhance their knowledge and increase identification and reporting of elder abuse cases. It also indicated that mixed teaching methods, such as face-to-face lectures, simulation, or case scenarios and debriefings or feedback can strengthen the learning process of nurses. In conclusion, educational programs for nurses can significantly improve the identification, reporting, and handling skills of elder abuse incidents. This finding can help in developing accurate strategies for minimizing and preventing elder abuse cases. From the results of this systematic review, we propose the ECLiPSE pathway for the effective training of nurses and handling of elder abuse cases, eventually contributing to decreasing the incidents.
