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

objectiveTo evaluate the impact of the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Assignment Model (MADiT) on the quality of Shared Individual Intervention Plans (PIIC) and on the identification of individuals with complex chronic conditions (PCC) and advanced chronic conditions (MACA) in nursing homes.

designProspective, non-randomized intervention study with a before-after design.

settingFifteen nursing homes, of which twelve were included in the analysis.

participantsA total of 1,058 institutionalized adults aged over 65 years: 459 evaluated in 2021 (pre-intervention) and 599 in 2023 (post-intervention). Mean age: 88.7 years; 73.8% women.

interventionsA structured, continuous training program for primary care professionals and nursing home social and healthcare staff, focused on the use of the IF-VIG frailty index, PIIC preparation, and application of the MADiT model for diagnostic stratification and shared clinical decision-making.

main outcome measuresPIIC quality; identification of PCC and MACA.

resultsThirteen training sessions were delivered to 45 professionals. The proportion of high-quality PIIC increased from 0% to 55.8%, while incomplete and missing PIIC decreased to 24.2% and 20.2%, respectively (P<.001). Identification of PCC increased from 59% to 70.9%, and identification of MACA rose from 6% to 12% (P<.001).

conclusionsImplementation of the MADiT model in nursing homes was associated with a significant improvement in PIIC quality and in the identification of PCC and MACA. Its use in real-world care settings reinforces its value as a tool to structure shared approaches and optimize comprehensive planning in complex geriatric populations.
