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

Residents in long-term care settings do not receive adequate support for hearing and vision devices. This study aimed to identify factors influencing support for residents' daily use of hearing and vision devices. Semi-structured interviews with 23 staff were analyzed deductively to categorize data within the Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation model of Behavior (COM-B), and then inductively to identify themes and subthemes within each domain guided by the Theoretical Domains Framework. Capability factors included a lack of skills in managing and maintaining sensory devices, interpersonal communication skills, and forgetting about device use. Opportunity factors included device management not being included on care task lists and inaccessible sensory devices. Staff reported a strong sense of duty and positive feelings about providing device support, reflecting high motivation.
