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

Home safety assessments and subsequent modifications can prevent hospitalization, institutionalization, and death among older adults. Telehealth has been shown to be an effective means to administer home safety assessments. However, a structured approach to synchronous telehealth home assessments has not been examined. This study involved development and validation of a structured telehealth home assessment protocol. The Protocol for Administering Telehealth Home (PATH) assessment was developed based on literature review, clinical experience with in-person and telehealth home assessments, and interviews with content experts. Six older adults participated in the validation phase of the protocol using a quasi-experimental, mixed-methods, one-group research design. The validation process resulted in modifications to the protocol to enhance its utility in practice. The PATH protocol provides a valid, structured approach to conducting synchronous telehealth home assessments and can be used by occupational therapists to administer home assessments for older adults desiring to age in place.
