Look at me! An exploratory study of supported eating interactions in long-term neurological care.
Article in International journal of qualitative studies on health and well-being, 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
introductionCare homes are synonymous with aged care; however, many younger people also reside in care homes, often because they have complex needs caused by neurological conditions. Of this population, some people require support to eat. People in care homes consider mealtimes as central to their care experience but repeatedly report dissatisfaction with them. This paper examines what makes for positive or negative supported eating interactions (SEI) between care staff and people with neurological conditions aged 18-65.
methodsThe paper draws upon semi-structured interviews conducted with residents and healthcare staff exploring the role of food in the care of adults with neurological conditions in long-term care settings.
resultsSix core themes (1. Time and timing, 2. Individualized support and care(ing), 3. Choice and autonomy; 4. Core clinical knowledge and skills; 5. De-humanizing Practices; and 6. Environment) drawn through reflexive thematic analysis were identified.
conclusionsThere was significant parity between resident and staff considerations regarding the essence of what makes up a positive or negative SEI. Most core principles for delivering positive SEI's fall within the knowledge and skills of individual healthcare staff. However, the findings on time and environment require organizational support to enable staff to deliver the best SEI.
