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

Unlabelled: The aging population presents a pressing challenge for health care systems, necessitating effective strategies to address the complex needs of older adults. The Veterans Health Administration in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the largest integrated health care system in the United States, has embraced the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) initiative from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement to ensure safe and high-quality care for older veterans. In AFHS, health care providers consistently use the evidence-based 4Ms framework (what matters, medication, mentation, and mobility) to deliver comprehensive care for older adults in all care settings., This viewpoint paper explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the evidence-based implementation of the AFHS 4Ms framework in the VA to provide optimal care for older adults. By leveraging AI technologies, such as natural language processing, machine learning, large language models, clinical decision support, and data analytics, this viewpoint examines the opportunities and challenges of using AI to support the 4Ms domains in a large, integrated health care system. Furthermore, it discusses the potential benefits of integrating AI-driven decision support systems and predictive analytics to personalize care, reduce polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medications, enhance cognitive and mood assessments, and better identify mobility issues and interventions. By examining the intersection of AI and age-friendly care in the VA, this viewpoint highlights the transformative potential of AI to expand 4Ms care and improve the experience of providers and older adults across diverse health care settings.
