Resource Use in Swedish Nursing Homes: A Repeated Cross-Sectional Follow-Up Study.
Article in International journal of geriatric psychiatry, 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
objectivesNursing homes in Sweden provide housing and care for people aged 65 years or older who require assistance with everyday activities. An increasing number of nursing home residents have cognitive and functional decline, which can result in additional time needed for care provision. This study aimed to explore changes in resource use and associated factors in Swedish nursing homes over a 5-year period.
methodsThis repeated cross-sectional study analyzed baseline (2013-2014) and follow-up (2018-2019) proxy-rated data from 4599 participants from the Swedish National Inventory of Care and Health in Residential Aged Care study. Resource use was measured using the Resource Use in Dementia scale. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, chi-square tests, and multiple linear regressions were performed.
resultsTotal resource use increased from 7.15 h/day to 7.83 h/day between baseline and follow-up. The number of residents living in a dementia unit increased from 34.6% to 43%. Higher independence in activities of daily living was associated with lower total resource use at follow-up while living in a dementia unit was associated with higher total resource use. Higher total resource use was associated with seven neuropsychiatric symptoms. For residents living in a dementia unit, four neuropsychiatric symptoms were associated with higher total resource use.
conclusionsResource use in Swedish nursing homes increased between baseline and follow-up. These results may inform future policy, financing, and implementation decisions to support resource utilization in nursing homes.
