Association Between Modifiable Structural and Process Factors and the Quality Indicator Pain in Nursing Home Residents: A MultiCentre Cross-Sectional Survey.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
AIM(S): The aim of this study is to examine the association between modifiable structural and process factors and self-reported as well as observed pain in Swiss residential long-term care residents.
designSub-study of a multicentre cross-sectional survey.
methodsInstitution, unit, and staff data were collected from September 2018 to October 2019 in 118 residential long-term care institutions in Switzerland's German- and French-speaking regions using paper questionnaires. Resident data were exported during the same period from routine data sets.
resultsIn this study, 6213 residents from 86 residential long-term care institutions were included. Modifiable structural factors such as institutions having access to geriatricians, nursing experts and a palliative care team, the presence of a pain guideline on the unit and good teamwork among care workers were associated to less pain in residents.
conclusionIt is possible for residential long-term care institutions to improve pain in residents and to optimise the quality of care by providing access to geriatricians, nursing experts and a palliative care team, working with a pain guideline and fostering teamwork. IMPLICATION FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Residential long-term care institutions can modify and implement modifiable structural factors which can reduce pain in residents to optimise residents' quality of life and quality of care. IMPACT: Improved pain management in residential long-term care institutions can lead to optimised quality of care and quality of life for individual residents. REPORTING
