Perceptions, motivations, needs and experiences of geriatricians with regard to research and research consortia.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 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
backgroundWith the aging population, there is a growing need for research in geriatrics. Currently, participation of geriatricians in research is behind that of other specialties.
aimWe aim to investigate the perceptions, motivations, needs and experiences of geriatricians with regard to research and their willingness to contribute to research consortia in the Netherlands.
methodsThe study was a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study. Between March 2024 and May 2024, all Dutch geriatricians were invited to participate in an online survey, then semi-structured interviews were conducted. An inductive thematic analysis was used to identify, analyse, and report patterns in the qualitative data.
results171 geriatricians (80.6% female) participated in the survey (31.8% response rate). According to the survey, all geriatricians felt a shared responsibility to participate in research. However, 101/171 (59.1%) geriatricians did not participate. Of the 70 geriatricians that participated in research, 20 (28.6%) joined a research consortium. Following the survey, 21 semi-structured interviews were conducted. Lack of time, financial resources, and inadequate training during geriatric residency were identified as barriers to participate in research. Interviews revealed that earlier positive experiences with research and synergic collaboration with colleagues encourage participation of geriatricians in research. DISCUSSION: More focus on research during geriatric medicine residency could foster long-term research involvement. This can be achieved by providing increased exposure to research, positive experiences with research, and access to skilled supervisors.
conclusionBarriers and facilitators should be addressed in policies to promote greater involvement of geriatricians in research and research consortia.
