Stigma Towards Hospitalised Older Adults: A Concept Analysis.
Review in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimThe aim of this concept analysis paper is to explore the concept of stigma towards hospitalised older adults and propose a clear definition to understand this phenomenon. DESIGN AND REVIEW
methodRodgers' evolutionary concept analysis method was used to evaluate the concept of stigma towards hospitalised older adults by identifying attributes, antecedents, and consequences. DATA SOURCES: A systematic search was conducted using CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. Seventeen research articles from 1963 to 2025 were identified as directly related to the concept of stigma towards hospitalised older adults.
resultsDiscrimination based on age, discriminatory practices, and negative stereotypes were the common attributes highlighted in research studies. The primary antecedent of stigma in hospitalised older adults is a social stigma which leads to stigmatised attitudes and practices towards older adults admitted into hospital. Inequalities in the hospital environment and lack of motivation are consequences that may provoke a stigmatised demeanour towards older patients in hospitals.
conclusionA clear understanding of stigma in the context of hospitalised older adults will guide the development of a conceptual framework and improve the healthcare professionals' care approach towards older adults in the hospital setting.
