Health Profile Transitions and the Association With Cognitive Impairment in Older Nursing Home Residents With Suicidal Ideation.
Article in International journal of geriatric psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesIn older U.S. nursing home residents with suicidal ideation (SI), limited studies have longitudinally investigated their health changes as related to cognitive function. This study aimed to identify the health profiles and the transitions between profiles at admission and 90-days and examine the associations with cognitive impairment.
methodsUsing Minimum Data Set 3.0 (2011-15), we identified 10,079 older residents without severe cognitive impairment who reported SI on Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Health profile indicators included at-admission and 90-day post-admission depressive symptoms, frailty, and pain frequency and intensity. Using latent transition analysis, we identified distinct health profiles, examined the transitions between profiles over time, and estimated their associations with cognitive impairment.
resultsOne third of residents continued to report SI at 90 days. The five health profiles identified at admission were distinctive with varying levels of frailty, depressive symptoms, and pain, from the most severe Profile 1 characterized by frailty, all depressive symptoms, and horrible or frequent pain, to the least severe Profile 5 characterized by pre-frailty, depressed mood, and no pain. The 90-day profiles were mostly consistent. Most residents remained in a similar profile over time. Relative to residents with intact cognition/mild cognitive impairment, those with moderate impairment were less likely to belong to profiles characterized by more depressive symptoms and pain.
conclusionsResidents with SI had heterogeneous health profiles, which varied by cognitive impairment levels, but showed minimal changes despite being in a medically supervised setting. Findings highlighted the critical need for adequate recognition and management of SI in nursing homes.
