The willingness and barriers to collaborate in the care of frail older adults: perspectives of primary care professionals.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThis study investigated the perspectives of primary care professionals, in particular general practitioners, registered nurses, physiotherapists and occupational therapists, on inter-professional collaboration, the barriers and the facilitators they perceive in the care of the frail older population.
methodsWe conducted a qualitative study. In-depth interviews with healthcare professionals were performed, using open-ended questions about their perceptions on the care of frail older adults and inter-professional collaboration. Data was analyzed following the Basic Logical Model of Abduction and Creswell's coding method.
resultsHealthcare professionals indicated that when they explored problems complementary to the reasons for older people to contact a healthcare professional, these additional problems often seemed to be the main problem. They also stated that there was too little inter-professional collaboration in the care of complex chronic issues and lack of a shared vision on collaboration. Collaboration is still limited too much to contacting established professions. Health information technology can support both, inter-professional collaboration and working on an evidence-based manner. It can also be a facilitator to inform patients. The availability and use of health information technology differs between the professions. Success factors and barriers for sustainable collaboration were identified on several levels, namely innovation, individual, professional, patient, social context, context of the organization, economic and political context.
conclusionsOur study shed light on the willingness and barriers in collaboration of healthcare professionals in primary care for older adults. There is little inter-professional collaboration, despite the willingness of the healthcare professionals to collaborate.
