Integrating Health and Social Care for Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Description of 16 Canadian Programs.
Article in Healthcare policy = Politiques de sante, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This paper describes 16 Canadian programs designed to provide integrated primary care for older adults. Publicly available data were used to identify the "what" and the "how" of integration for each program. Most programs integrated with other healthcare or medical services (vs. social services). Mechanisms of integration varied; the most common mechanism was interprofessional teams. Only 25% of the programs formally engaged with autonomous physician-led primary care practices (where most Canadians receive their primary care). Findings suggest that integrated care is a priority across Canada but also highlight how far we have to go to achieve both vertical integration within the healthcare sector (primary, secondary and tertiary services) and horizontal integration across sectors (health and social).
