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

AimThe aim of this study was to explore meanings embedded in corridors and how these relate to older adults' experiences of physical movement and their living environment within a residential care facility.BackgroundResidential care facilities should serve as both care environments and homes. Nevertheless, many facilities are designed like hospitals, prioritizing care over a homelike environment. Corridors are a common feature in residential care facilities' communal areas, yet little is known about older adults' experiences of these spaces.MethodsThe study had an explorative qualitative design, adopting a phenomenological hermeneutic method. Three men and three women between 81 and 96 years of age were interviewed when moving through residential care facility corridors. Two men and two women participated one follow-up interview each.ResultsThe interpretation led to the overarching theme
