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

backgroundAged-care programs that are based in First Nations worldviews are believed to translate to improved quality of life for First Nations Elders. First Nations perspectives of health and well-being incorporates social and cultural determinants in addition to traditional Western biomedical approaches. This is exemplified by the Good Spirit Good Life (GSGL) framework, which comprises 12 strength-based factors determined by First Nations Elders as constituting culturally appropriate ageing. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review of existing aged care models of practice to determine the degree of alignment with the GSGL framework. Recommendations of the national Australian Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety informed this work.

methodsWe conducted a systematic search of academic and grey literature in the PubMed, Scopus, Ovid Embase, and Informit online databases. Inclusion criteria comprised English language, original research describing the implementation of First Nations culturally appropriate aged care models, published before August 2022. Research that was not focused on First Nations Elders' perspectives or quality of life was excluded. We subsequently identified, systematically assessed, and thematically analyzed 16 articles. We assessed the quality of included articles using the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Quality Assessment Tool (ATSIQAT), and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tool for qualitative research.

resultsMost studies were of medium to high quality, while demonstrating strong alignment with the 12 GSGL factors. Nine of the included studies detailed whole service Models of care while 7 studies described a single program or service element. Thematic analysis of included studies yielded 9 enablers and barriers to implementing models of care.

conclusionsBest-practice First Nations aged care requires a decolonizing approach. Programs with strong adherence to the 12 GSGL factors are likely to improve Elders' quality of life.
