Maximising inclusivity in care home research: Lessons learned from the AFRI-c randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in The Journal of frailty & aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ethical and procedural requirements make research in care homes challenging. With people living longer globally, it is essential that older people are included in research, including within the care home setting. We conducted a randomised controlled trial (AFRI-c) in 91 care homes across England, aiming to make the study available to every eligible resident. Facilitators included flexible models for receiving consent; commitment from care home staff, residents and families; tailored and specific training for care home staff; and support from national research infrastructure to engage care homes in research. To facilitate inclusive care home research, we recommend consulting with care homes about their research priorities; continuing investment in national research infrastructure for care homes; using advance directives for research planning for care home residents; embedding research nurses in care home environments; and more guidance for researchers and ethics committees on applying legal frameworks regarding capacity to research settings.
