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

Background and Objectives: As people live to late older adulthood, their reliance on disability supports and services increases. While these supports and services can often be provided at home, many people spend a period of their lives in long-term care, and the quality of long-term care environments is of great significance to those who make this transition and to those who support it. The objective of this study was to survey the range of design innovations in long-term care and to consider outcomes for residents, family caregivers, employees, and healthcare organizations. Research Design and Methods: To achieve these goals, we conducted a systematic scoping review and analyzed results using a convergent segregated mixed-methods approach. We summarized 75 articles on the topic of long-term care home building design by classifying structural design features and associated outcomes. Results: We identified 3 innovative design types ( Discussion and Implications: Based on these results, environmental design is a critical contributor to long-term care quality.
