Challenges and strategies in the care of older adults across the continuum of intensive and post-intensive care medicine.
Review in Intensive care medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Older adults have composed more than half of ICU patient-days for the past 25 years, and these numbers are only expected to grow as the worldwide population of older adults doubles by 2050. For older adults, conditions such as frailty, disability in functional activities, and multimorbidity are more strongly associated with ICU and post-ICU outcomes than chronological age, and recent work shows that the prevalence of these conditions among older ICU patients is increasing over time. In response to this demographic shift, the science of aging-focused critical care has rapidly expanded over the past decade, and we now know more about how to care for older ICU patients than ever before. However, challenges in the care of older adults across the continuum of ICU and post-ICU care remain. In this narrative review, we discuss these challenges, propose strategies and future research to address them, and discuss best practices for the care of older ICU patients in the context of the state of the science.
