Article in International journal of older people nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionOlder adults living in residential care facilities (RCFs) may wish to drink alcohol, despite adverse outcomes. Shared decision-making (SDM) could support care professionals in balancing residents' autonomy and well-being with the adverse outcomes to all residents and staff. This study aims to assess factors that could affect shared decision-making (SDM) and care professionals' behaviour regarding residents' alcohol use in residential care facilities (RCFs).
methodsA quantitative cross-sectional study and explorative analyses were chosen to answer the research question. Care professionals working in psychogeriatric or in somatic units of RCFs were included (N = 332) and filled out a survey. The main variables studied in this research are shared decision-making, behaviour (facilitating or limiting residents' alcohol use), care professionals personal alcohol use and their attitudes, person-centred care and organisational culture. t-tests, regression analyses and ANOVA analyses were conducted using SPSS.
resultsCare professionals' attitudes towards residents' alcohol use are significantly associated with personal alcohol use; the level of SDM; and the level of enabling residents to drink alcohol. SDM is associated with person-centred care (PCC) and significantly differs between somatic units and psychogeriatric units.
conclusionSDM could be used in dilemmas regarding residents' alcohol use. Care professionals' personal alcohol use and attitudes towards residents' alcohol use could affect whether they discuss and facilitate this use. This may cause inconsistencies in care towards residents' alcohol use, which endangers PCC. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: SDM could support care professionals in dilemmas regarding residents' alcohol use. Care professionals should learn about the possible role of their personal alcohol use and attitudes regarding this topic. Finally, organizations should consider potential complicating factors when developing and implementing organizational policies regarding residents' alcohol use.
