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

The objective of this article was to provide a consensus-based short list of effective indicators to measure health system responsiveness to the needs of older adults which would be relevant to informing public policy. An e-Delphi study was done with no direct interaction between respondents. Virtual surveys were sent to 141 participants with experience in analysis and monitoring of health indicators, management of health systems, and health care of older adults. A baseline list of 24 previously published indicators was used. The criteria for selection as high priority indicators were: usefulness as a tracer of health system responsiveness and usefulness to inform policy. Consensus was defined as: ≥70% agreement among the participants that the indicator was very high or high priority; plus being benchmarked by ≥50% of respondents as having a higher relative weight than other indicators; plus being in the top 10 in the ranking list. The first round of the process included 38 participants with varied professional backgrounds. Consensus was reached for seven indicators after two rounds. Five indicators were related to distal outcomes (mortality, disability, or healthy life expectancy), one to monitoring functional assessments, and one to poverty levels. Health systems professionals should consider these comprehensive priority indicators in their efforts to provide a better health system for older people.
