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

Despite widespread usage in aging and health services, the concept of person-centeredness (PC) does not have a single, universal definition. This definitional challenge may be due, in part, to desired parsimony that oversimplifies the concept's intrinsic complexity. To better understand the inherent breadth and depth of PC, 116 experts in health- and aging-related policy and practice participated in meetings to discuss PC as a concept, which led to a multilevel conceptualization of the term at the macro, meso, and micro levels. The focus, implementation, and challenges of PC were identified at these interrelated levels, creating a nuanced, contextual model. In addition, the model's application to current measurement of PC is detailed, and recommendations are made for additional review and development to best measure PC at all levels. This innovative multilevel approach makes explicit the innately contextual nature of PC as a value-based concept, with application for policy, practice, and research.
