[Epidemiology of long-term care: prevalence and utilisation as well as the healthcare of long-term care recipients in Germany].
Review in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
According to official statistics from the German long-term care insurance funds, around six out of every one hundred people with statutory health insurance are considered to be in need of long-term care. In this context, "need of long-term care" is defined according to the Eleventh Book of the Social Code (SGB XI) and therefore follows a demand-driven understanding of care, which also aligns with public discourse.In order to meet the increasing number of people in need of long term care - mostly caused by demographic change - with needs-based service structures, knowledge and evaluation of several factors are necessary: the prevalence of care dependency as defined by the SGB XI, the different degrees of severity, and the utilisation of long-term care and healthcare services.In this respect, the article presents findings and calculations based on currently available administrative data from German health and long-term care insurance funds and states its limitations. In terms of an actual epidemiological approach to the topic of long-term care, the aim should be broader reporting based on primary surveys.
