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
Background: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) adopted the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) framework in March 2020, an initiative that complements whole health core principles. The shift from disease-based treatment to what matters most to veterans helps them improve their health and well-being. Observations: Whole health and AFHS focus on holistic patient-centered care that aims to enhance the overall health and well-being of patients. Both approaches allow care teams to connect veterans with the most appropriate programs and services while also engaging in novel and impactful ways to align decision making to what matters to the patient and ensure continuum of care. Conclusions: The combined efforts of whole health and AFHS ensure veterans are empowered and equipped to take charge of their health through assessments to identify their goals and care preferences, allowing their health services to be aligned with what matters most to them as patients. The VHA investment in this transformation empowers subject matter experts to collect data on implementation, scale up, and spread, and explore meaningful measures to monitor care quality and outcomes.
