Characteristics of the needs of older people in Kazakhstan: a cross-sectional muliticentre study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Objectives: Shrinking caregiver workforces and rising demand among the oldest age groups necessitate urgent healthcare reforms. In Kazakhstan, high fertility sustains population growth, though care pressures are increasing as the share of older adults rises. Family, mostly women, provide care, and societal changes are reshaping traditional caregiving roles. The aim of the study was to assess the health and social needs of older adults in Kazakhstan and uncover their groupings. Methods: A cross-sectional multicentre study (2020-2021) in four Kazakhstani cities surveyed outpatients aged ≥65 years with the EASYCare Standard 2010 questionnaire. Functional independence, risk of care breakdown, and falls were measured, and Results: Among 452 participants (mean age 70.7 ± 5.7 years), three clusters emerged. Lower unmet needs correlated with higher education and less caregiver support; higher needs were linked to lower education and frequent informal care. Fewer than 1% used formal services. Conclusion: Unmet needs among older Kazakhs are linked to lower education and informal care. Expanding formal care and targeted interventions are essential for supporting the ageing population's varied needs.
