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

aimThis study aimed to examine the healthcare professionals' perceptions after implementing the "PACE Steps to Success" program in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.

designA qualitative descriptive study.

methodsThematic analysis of semi-structured face-to-face and group interviews with health professionals, PACE coordinators, and managers purposely invited in the four long-term home facilities that had previously participated in the PACE cluster randomized clinical trial intervention group.

resultsThe PACE program implementation has improved communication with residents regarding end-of-life issues and helped identify patients' needs. The introduction of codified tools can complete internal tools and support decision-making. In addition, the training has promoted inter-professional collaboration, particularly in the case of care assistants, by defining each profession's specific responsibilities in providing care for older adults.
