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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundGlobally, healthcare systems are challenged with implementing effective home-based self-management programmes for older persons living with frailty within a proactive, integrated model of remote, person-centred care (PCC).

aimThis study explores the experiences of a remote PCC intervention in older persons living with frailty.

methodsA qualitative inductive conventional content analysis was conducted using semi-structured telephone interviews. The intervention involved older adults who received PCC through a combined approach of telephone calls and a digital platform. Fourteen community-dwelling older people (≥ 75 years, screened as frail) with recent emergency care visits but had not been hospitalised, were included.

resultsParticipants felt secure due to the engaging, empathetic and professional-friendly nature of the telephone conversations. In contrast, many informants reported difficulty using the digital platform due to its complexity.

conclusionTelephone-based, person-centred remote care enhanced resource availability and promoted feelings of security among older persons living with frailty. However, further development of user-friendly digital tools for older people is still needed. TRIAL REGISTRATION OF THE MAIN PROJECT: ClinicalTrial.gov: NCT04416815. Registered 07/06/2021.
