Intervention accelerator to prevent and respond to abuse of older people: insights from key promising interventions.
Review in The lancet. Healthy longevity, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Globally, abuse of older people (AOP) affects one in six individuals aged 60 years and older every year. Despite the widespread prevalence of AOP, evidence-based interventions for preventing and responding to this issue are insufficient. To address this gap, WHO proposed an initiative to accelerate the development of effective interventions for AOP across all country income levels. In the first phase, the initiative identified 89 promising interventions across a total of 101 evaluations or descriptions, which led to the creation of a public database. Most interventions targeted physical, psychological, and financial abuse and neglect, were implemented in the USA, and focused on victims or potential victims. These interventions were primarily delivered by social workers and nurses, usually in health-care facilities and community centres. Face-to-face delivery was common. Additionally, 28 (28%) of the 101 evaluations used randomised controlled trial designs. The results of this Review can be used to identify interventions that are ready for a rigorous outcome evaluation.
