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

This study identified care and support need profiles for people requiring home-based aged care and explored profile associations with socio-demographic and psychosocial factors. The study utilized cross-sectional aged care assessment data for 94,975 Victorians (mean age 84 [SD = 7.6] years) eligible for Australian Government-funded home-based aged care (Home Care Package) (January 2019-June 2022). Latent class analysis identified seven profiles (P1 to P7). P1, the largest profile (
