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

Hospitals are increasingly adopting age-friendly care (AFC) models to address the limitations of traditional care models in the care of older persons. Integrating older persons' participation in this adoption process could lead to hospital care that is tailored to their needs and preferences. However, a comprehensive understanding of older persons' participation in AFC adoption remains limited. Thus, we conducted a scoping review following the JBI methodology and the PRISMA-ScR reporting guideline to identify and examine the breadth of evidence on this topic. We searched six health science databases in December 2022 (updated in February 2024) for peer-reviewed research studies describing older persons' participation in the adoption of AFC models in hospital settings. Five unique studies reported in six articles from 2307 screened articles met our inclusion criteria. Older persons' participation appeared primarily at the organizational design and governance level when responding to surveys and interviews, providing verbal feedback (consultation) and, to a lesser extent, joining expert panels as members (involvement). Participation occurred during the implementation phase of AFC adoption. Barriers and facilitators influencing participation included patient-related and organizational-related factors. Our review highlighted the limited scope and existing knowledge on older persons' participation in AFC adoption, raising a concern that AFC models may be adopted without adequate consideration of older persons' perceived care needs and preferences.
