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

Background: integrated Rehabilitation and EnAblement Program (iREAP) is an innovative redesign of the traditional day rehabilitation model, providing an anticipatory, early assessment and intervention program that manages care of community-dwelling older people with complex needs. It coordinates access to disciplines across medical, allied health and nursing, with a self-management focus, partnering with primary health in an integrated approach. Objective: This observational study reviews the effectiveness of iREAP on frailty, patient activation, quality of life and physical outcome measures on older people at risk of, or experiencing falls and frailty, or with neurodegenerative conditions, including Parkinson's Disease. Methods: 99 participants completed the eight-week multidisciplinary program. Patient outcome measures included Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale, quality of life measures, Patient Activation Measure, Timed Up and Go, 6 Minute Walk Test and Berg Balance Scale. Results: On completion of iREAP, participants displayed improvements in their Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scores (mildly frail to vulnerable), 'patient activation' (55.08 to 60.61), quality of life (Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39, 49.93 to 47.16; WHO Quality of Life - Bref physical domain, 21 to 22.7) and physical measures including balance (44 to 49/56 Berg Balance scale) and mobility (294 m to 336 m, 6-minute walk test). Falls were not reduced at twelve months post-program (3.40 to 2.01). Conclusion: iREAP is an interdisciplinary, early assessment and intervention program with the potential to reverse frailty and improve quality of life for complex older patients. This paper offers a platform for future research, given the paucity of evidence reviewing the efficacy of integrated anticipatory models of care in older adults with complex needs.
