A Systems Approach to Homelessness Prevention for Older Adults.
Article in The Gerontologist, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
An aging population and increase in the number of older adults experiencing homelessness in North America requires a more effective response to prevent and end older adult homelessness. While there are few research evidence-based policy solutions to preventing older adult homelessness, there are several promising practices that with further analysis could point to quality policy reform. Using the five-level typology by Fitzpatrick et al. (2021. Advancing a five-level typology of homelessness prevention. International Journal on Homelessness, 1(1), 79-97. doi:10.5206/ijoh.2021.1.13341), this discussion paper outlines policy-oriented recommendations at varying levels of prevention: (a) universal, (b) upstream, (c) crisis, (d) emergency, and (e) repeat. Key policy implications include intersectoral collaboration and policy design that seeks to successfully reach functionally zero homelessness by activating policy strategies at each of the five-levels of prevention. Health and housing practitioners play an essential role in policy planning, design, implementation, and evaluation and can participate in and advocate for opportunities to improve services and address older adult homelessness connected to their practice environments. Promoting research that enhances systematic evaluation of the outcomes of older adults through various housing models is critical to driving policy reform-a necessary action to promote a safe, healthy, and opportunistic future for older adults.
