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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesThe Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supported Housing (HUD-VASH) program provides rental subsidies, case management, and supportive services to Veterans who are currently or formerly homeless, 77% of whom are aged ≥50. Few interventions have been developed to address the needs of older Veterans in HUD-VASH. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsWe conducted a 2-stage study to inform the development of an intervention to promote aging in place in HUD-VASH. First, we completed qualitative interviews with 21 older Veterans in HUD-VASH and focus groups with 13 staff members to identify unmet needs for supporting aging in place. Second, we used a modified Delphi process with 9 staff and 1 Veteran to prioritize 66 intervention elements based on perceived feasibility and importance.

resultsWe identified 4 main themes: need for services to support aging in place, expanding the HUD-VASH workforce, focus on home delivery, and importance of trust. The top-rated intervention elements spanned 5 categories: (1) staffing (by social workers, primary care providers, nurses, home health aides); (2) focus (on geriatric needs, mental health needs, dementia care, medication management); (3) modality (in the home or medical center); (4) timing (delivery of the intervention when Veterans have functional impairment, memory impairment, mental health problems, trouble caring for themselves, or are new to HUD-VASH); and (5) duration (regularly scheduled or ongoing as needed). DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Veterans and staff members identified key intervention elements which can help inform Veterans Affairs (VA) efforts to develop and implement interventions to enhance aging in place in HUD-VASH.
