Words and Language Matter: Improving Older Person's Healthcare Outcomes Through Use of Age-Positive Language.
Review in Emergency medicine Australasia : EMA, 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
Ageism is a public health emergency affecting both the health outcomes of older people and the global economy. Emergency Departments are environments where emergency clinicians often face increased cognitive load and are more susceptible to cognitive bias, which can influence patient outcomes. With an ageing population, sustainable healthcare requires a multifaceted approach that includes awareness of the extensive harms of ageism. The language and words used by healthcare providers both directly and indirectly impact patient experience and health outcomes. Consciously transitioning to age-positive language is one strategy emergency clinicians can use to combat ageism and improve healthcare experiences and outcomes for older persons presenting for emergency care.
