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

Early Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment is a key component of the assessment of older adults presenting to hospital with frailty syndromes, often this is facilitated through Acute Frailty Units. In this paper we describe how using QI methodology we improved access to our Frailty Unit using a digital solution. The impact of this improvement was demonstrated via the reduction in length of stay that these patients experienced compared to patients admitted to General Care of the Older Person wards.
