Interventions to Facilitate Access to Long-Term Care for Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Scoping Review.
Article in Research on aging. 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
Accessing long-term care can be challenging due to complex care systems. This study aimed to identify evidence on interventions designed to improve access to long-term care for community-dwelling older adults. A systematic search of five databases identified 16 studies published between 2013 and 2023. Interventions were categorized into four types: early identification (n = 6), integrated care (n = 5), partnership (n = 2), and other (n = 3). Common strategies included providing information, making referrals, and providing coordinated care. Most interventions were delivered by healthcare professionals, targeted high-risk older adults, and focused on nursing home admissions, with less attention to other long-term care services. Interventions could target older adults with advanced age or specific health conditions and identify unmet needs at early stages. Future research could document intervention length, explore its impact on service access, and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of involving non-healthcare professionals in delivering interventions.
