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

The world population is aging. Comprehensive Geriatric assessment (CGA) has been proven to improve the well-being of older adults. However, evidence suggests not all clinicians implement these recommendations in their practice; nor do all patients adhere to them. Currently, there is no up-to-date review of interventions that can improve older adults' adherence to CGA recommendations and health care provider/clinician implementation of those recommendations. The objective of this scoping review protocol is to describe the methodology of the scoping review with the aim to identify interventions that have been tested to improve adherence to CGA recommendations. We will use the Arksey and O'Malley framework and subsequent extension by Levac and colleagues to complete the scoping review. We searched OVID MEDLINE, OVID Embase, EBSCO CINAHL, APA PsychInfo, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases from inception to November 14, 2024, and will include a review of reference lists of included studies. Studies eligible for inclusion are studies of any design that examined one or more interventions aiming to improve clinician implementation of and patient adherence to CGA in any clinical setting. We will use standard methods for study selection, data abstraction, assessment of methodological quality of individual studies, and data synthesis. Results will be analyzed and reported using descriptive numerical summaries and narrative analysis. Findings from the scoping review will be published in a manuscript and presented at scientific conferences.
