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

Geriatric patients are characterized by an advanced age and typical geriatric multimorbidity. The prevalence of pain increases with age. In geriatric patients in particular, pain is one of the most frequently occurring characteristic complexes. In Germany, a trend has been observed that the prevalence and intensity of pain in older people has continued to increase in recent years. Pain management in this particularly vulnerable group poses major challenges for the patients themselves, their relatives and healthcare professionals. For this reason, the expiring S3 guideline on "Pain assessment in older people in full inpatient care for the elderly" will be taken up, updated and expanded to include pain therapy and extended to outpatient and acute inpatient care.
