Developing a Delphi Consensus on the Domains and Conduct of Brief Geriatric Assessments in Singapore.
Article in Annals of geriatric medicine and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundComprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a process supporting a multidimensional assessment of the health and well-being of older adults and leads to the development of long-term personalized care plans. CGA is resource intensive, hence shorter forms such as brief geriatric assessments (BGA) could be alternatives. However, little is known about BGA's implementability in community and primary care settings. To understand the core requirements for BGA in Singapore's community and primary care settings, an electronic two-round Delphi study with Singaporean clinical experts was conducted.
methodsStatements were informed by a previous scoping review and three study advisors. Statements related to target population, essential domains and sub-domains, and approach to BGA administration and implementation. Sixteen participants identified as experts in geriatric or family medicine were invited. Consensus was defined a priori as 75% agreement and an interquartile range of ≤1.
resultsFifteen participants responded, and 45/72 and 11/31 statements reached consensus in Round 1 and Round 2, respectively. Round 2 contained statements that did not reach consensus and were modified or added based on feedback. Participants agreed on targeting selected older adults for BGA to identify geriatric syndromes; physical, psychological, function, mobility/balance, and social status as domains to assess for BGA; and healthcare professionals administering BGA.
conclusionResults suggest using BGA to identify high-risk older adults for CGA, potentially saving resources. Additional research is needed to determine identification of older adults for BGA, and feasibility of interventions for older adults after a BGA.
