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

backgroundThe MULTIPLAT_AGE is a network project which developed a digital platform based on the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) for collecting data and identifying personalized healthcare programs for older people at home. In this article, the final recommendations of the MULTIPLAT_AGE Working Group are reported.

methodsThe MULTIPLAT_AGE project included five independent studies developed and carried out by five research centers according to two common principles previously shared by the researchers: (i) the multidimensional approach to older people through the CGA-based Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI); (ii) the use of a common web-based platform for collecting data to facilitate healthcare interventions of older people at their home according to the aging in place approach. At the end of the studies, a series of recommendations have been proposed by an expert panel including the principal investigators and discussed by all researchers involved in the MULTIPLAT_AGE project in formal meetings. After discussion, the recommendations have been approved with formal vote by all the researchers during the final meeting of the MULTIPLAT_AGE project.

resultsThe recommendations are addressed to healthcare providers, policy decision-makers, caregivers, and patients. In summary, the CGA-based interventions and technologies adopted in the MULTIPLAT_AGE project reduced length of hospital stay, improved multidimensional frailty, walking safety, physical and cognitive performances, and reduced fear of falling in older people across different clinical settings and suffering from different diseases.

conclusionsThe final recommendations of the MULTIPLAT_AGE Working Group could be a useful instrument to facilitate the use of technologies along with CGA-based interventions to improve the management of older people at home.
