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

AIMS AND

objectivesWith the expanding older population, the demand for home-based aged care is increasing. While home care presents challenges, it also offers opportunities to transform aged care practices. This study, grounded in caring science and lifeworld philosophy, explores the meaning of the relationship between older women and registered nurses.

methodsIndividual interviews were conducted with 11 women receiving home care, and a focus group was held with registered nurses working in the same setting. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.

resultsThe relationship between older women and registered nurses resembles a tapestry of emotional and physical connections, shaped by the women's vulnerability due to their dependence on care. Despite this, the women strove to be recognised as resilient and capable individuals.

conclusionThis study highlights the evolving relationship between older women and registered nurses in home care, shaped by the interplay of vulnerability and resilience. It offers insights into the relational dynamics in home-based aged care and emphasises the importance of presence, attentiveness, and the recognition of the home as integral to the caring relationship.
