A novel online training programme for healthcare professionals caring for older adults.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 proportion of older people in the world population is growing rapidly. Training and retaining healthcare professionals in sufficient numbers in the field of ageing represents a major challenge for the future, to deal with the healthcare needs of this ageing population. The COVID pandemic has unfortunately compounded shortages of healthcare workers worldwide. There is therefore a pressing need to scale-up the education of healthcare professionals in geriatrics and gerontology. Over the last 30 years, a group of motivated geriatrics physicians from Europe have been striving to educate healthcare professionals in geriatrics and gerontology through various initiatives, and using innovative pedagogic approaches to train physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic unfortunately put a stop to presence-based training programmes, but prompted the development of the online International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG) eTRIGGER (e-Training In Geriatrics and GERontology) course, a new training course in geriatrics and gerontology for healthcare professionals from a wide range of backgrounds. We outline here the history of the educational initiatives that have culminated in the roll-out of this new programme, and the perspectives for the future.
