Geriatric core competencies for non-geriatricians and nurses: a scoping review.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 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
backgroundThere is a lack of geriatric core competencies for non-geriatricians and nurses. Our review aimed to identify and analyse the key concepts of the core competencies in these groups.
methodsA systematic search was conducted through July 2025 using five electronic databases: Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Ageline, and Education Resources Information Center. Studies related to geriatric core competencies, involving research populations such as physicians, residents, medical students, registered nurses, and nurse practitioners, and conducted via expert consensus or the Delphi method were included. We classified the core competencies using an integrated domain-based approach and aligned them using Bloom's taxonomy framework.
resultsFrom the ten studies included in the final review, we identified 257 geriatric core competencies distributed into 18 domains. The most frequently mentioned competencies for physicians, medical students, and nurses were disease and comorbidities, pharmacologic/medication management, and cognitive/dementia. These competencies fall under the "patient care" category defined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). In terms of Bloom's taxonomy, 59.14% (152/257) of the geriatric core competencies were classified as Apply in the cognitive process dimension, and 64.2% (165/257) were classified as Conceptual in the knowledge dimension.
conclusionsOur study highlights that the most emphasized core geriatric competencies in patient care are disease management, medication management, and cognitive problems. However, critical areas, such as interdisciplinary teamwork and addressing patient and caregiver needs, are significantly underrepresented. This gap necessitates a curriculum that fosters a holistic approach to geriatric education among healthcare professionals.
