It is Not Only About Staying Alive: A Living Systematic Review of Social Care Strategies for Older Adults in Residential Care Facilities During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

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
Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on older adults in geriatric residential care facilities worldwide. In Canada, the mortality rate in these care settings was particularly high. To curb the spread of the virus, social distancing and other restrictions were introduced with inadvertent negative impacts on psychosocial well-being of residents in facilities. The goal of this Living Systematic Review (LSR) was to synthesize emerging evidence on social care strategies in Canadian residential care facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings: Results from the 35 studies show that the inclusion of older adults from residential care in research samples has been rare. Also, most of the identified social care interventions were on micro-, meso-, and exolevels, whereas macrolevel focus was limited. Applications: For the profound systemic impact of macropolicies, future studies should evaluate macrolevel interventions to ensure high quality of geriatric residential care in Canada. Also, future research should amplify the voices of older adults living in these care settings. Finally, greater attention to social care is required in Canadian geriatric residential care facilities.
