Difference in long-term care cost obtained with the short-term intensive prevention service (day service type C): A 3-year follow-up study of Japanese older adults.
Article in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
aimA short-term intensive prevention service, known as day service type C, involves professional intervention for 3 to 6 months to enhance participants' social participation and roles within their communities. This study aimed to evaluate whether implementing short-term intensive prevention services reduces cumulative long-term care (LTC) costs over a 3-year period, compared with the situation for non-participants.
methodsThis study included older adults aged 65 years and older from Taketa City, Oita Prefecture. A total of 132 individuals participated in short-term intensive prevention services from 2016 to 2019, and the non-participant group comprised 116 individuals identified as eligible for services through a self-administered postal survey in 2019 (both groups at baseline). The non-participant group was selected as part of the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study. Both groups were followed up for 3 years from baseline. The cumulative LTC costs derived from the public claims records served as the dependent variable. The covariates were sex, living situation, income, level of long-term care need, and risk assessment scale. Linear regression analysis was performed.
resultsThe participants incurred 241 398 JPY (± 681 335) per person, while the non-participants incurred 1 147 858 JPY (± 1 244 750). The adjusted linear regression showed that the LTC cost for the participants was lower by 495 534 (-848 382 to -142 686) JPY per person than that for those in the non-participation group.
conclusionsCompared with non-participants, the participants incurred approximately 500 000 JPY less in cumulative LTC costs per person over the subsequent 3 years. The widespread adoption of short-term, intensive prevention services may contribute to the sustainability of LTC insurance systems. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2025; 25: 1058-1064.
