Improving home-like environments in long-term care units: an exploratory mixed-method study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Although the number of older adults requiring care is rapidly increasing, nursing homes have long faced issues such as the absence of a home-like environment. This exploratory mixed-method study investigated how residents (n = 15) in a long-term care unit in South Korea perceive home-like features and privacy in their living spaces. The results indicated that most participants were satisfied with the homeliness and privacy of their environment, but some were unhappy with the level of privacy. Most participants had low scores on the Geriatric Depression Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, indicating low levels of depression and sleep disorders. Sleep quality was affected by factors such as sensory environment, staff visits, and room temperature. Although participants appreciated social support and private rooms, they expressed a desire for larger rooms. Overall, this study provides preliminary insights into older adults' views on their living spaces in long-term care with implications for improving their quality of life.
