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

Background: The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) serves as a crucial multidimensional instrument for optimizing care within aging populations. Despite its demonstrated benefits, there remain significant implementation gaps in China, particularly within Shandong Province. This study examines the current status, facilitators, and barriers to CGA implementation from the perspective of geriatric nurse specialists (GNS). Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to 200 GNS trained by the Shandong Nursing Association between 2018 and 2022. Data collection was conducted using a validated questionnaire grounded in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework. Statistical analyses were performed using chi-square tests and odds ratio (OR), with significance set at Results: CGA implementation was observed in only 50.50% of medical institutions. Key facilitators included Hospital level (secondary/tertiary: OR = 5.30, 95% CI: 2.29-12.25), Staff training (OR = 5.39, 95% CI: 1.75-16.56), Dedicated CGA personnel (OR = 3.41, 95% CI: 1.86-6.24), Interventions based on CGA results (OR = 7.34, 95% CI: 2.44-22.12). Unexpectedly, GNS certification (OR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.21-0.91) appeared to impede implementation. The primary barriers identified were the time-intensive nature of the process (64%), insufficient involvement of multidisciplinary teams (62%), and the absence of insurance reimbursement (48%). Conclusion: The adoption of CGA in Shandong remains below optimal levels. To enhance implementation, it is imperative to develop policy-driven strategies that include integrating CGA into insurance reimbursement frameworks, standardizing digital workflows, expanding multidisciplinary teams, and addressing workforce shortages through targeted training initiatives.
