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

In Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), healthcare access inequities exist for unintentional injuries between older Māori and non-Māori. We investigated the acceptability and exploratory efficacy of a co-designed paeārahi (navigator)-led injury prevention and care model for koeke (older Māori) in a prospective, non-randomised, pilot study. We enrolled 192 community-dwelling older Māori participants (≥ 55 years) from three primary healthcare clinics. The primary outcome was intervention acceptability, using an acceptability framework and kaupapa Māori theory to analyse focus group and interview data. Exploratory efficacy outcomes included changes in mobility, fall rates, koeke confidence in injury care, and healthcare utilisation. 132 koeke (mean ± SD age: 68.3 ± 8.5 years) completed the study, and 25 people participated in acceptability data collection (focus groups/interviews). The care model was acceptable to koeke, whānau (family), paeārahi and other health providers, and perceived as having a positive impact across multiple wellbeing domains and improving koeke and whānau control over healthcare. Paeārahi working within healthcare teams contributed to acceptability by assisting with referrals and healthcare access. Participants' confidence in preventing injury and accessing support increased (
