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.
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
Introduction: Older adults face significant health risks owing to gaps in the management of polypharmacy and medication adherence, as well as the integration of physical and mental health needs. Current models do not fully address these challenges. This study introduced the Safety, Efficacy, and Adherence (SEA) model designed to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration, improve medication management, and integrate care for older adults. This model addresses the core drivers of poor health outcomes: (1) medication adherence challenges, (2) social determinants of health, (3) polypharmacy, (4) team-based care with family support for deprescribing, and (5) psychosocial factors related to aging. Methods: The SEA model was developed through a structured literature review focusing on medication safety, polypharmacy, behavioral health integration, home safety inspections and adherence. It draws on frameworks such as the Chronic Care Model, Interprofessional Collaborative Care for Older Adults, and Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. This model fosters interdisciplinary collaboration by integrating pharmacists, primary care providers, mental health professionals, substance use treatment, and family suppowrt, and it is adaptable to diverse clinical settings. Results: The SEA model assessed short- and long-term outcomes. Potential short-term effects included improved medication adherence, enhanced team coordination, and reduced occurrence of adverse drug events. Long-term goals and possible effects included better chronic disease management, fewer hospitalizations, and improved quality of life for older adults. The model's scalability allows for application across various healthcare settings, although further testing is required for validation. Conclusion: The SEA model provides a comprehensive framework for addressing the complex needs of older adults by focusing on medication SEA. Two vignettes, one clinical and one organizational, demonstrate the practical application of the model in patient care and implementation science. By improving interdisciplinary collaboration and addressing social and behavioral factors, in home safety for medications, this model aims to reduce polypharmacy and hospitalization. Based on existing evidence-based frameworks, this model would benefit from future studies to validate its effectiveness in diverse settings.
