Screening and Interventions for Elder Mistreatment: Geriatric Emergency Department Guidelines 2.0 Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Academic emergency medicine : official journal of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundElder mistreatment is common, underreported, and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Emergency department (ED) visits provide an important opportunity to identify elder mistreatment and initiate intervention, but the evidence for the impact of screening or intervention strategies in this clinical setting is not well characterized. Our goal was to conduct systematic literature reviews to describe the impact of ED-based screening tools and ED-initiated interventions for elder mistreatment.
methodsWe conducted two systematic reviews following PRISMA 2020 guidelines using predefined Patient Intervention Comparator Outcome (PICO) frameworks. PICO 1 evaluated ED based screening tools for patients aged 60 years and older. PICO 2 evaluated ED initiated interventions for patients with known or suspected elder mistreatment. Searches were performed in MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL from December 2018 through December 2024 and supplemented by prior scoping reviews.
resultsFor PICO 1 (ED screening) the prior scoping review identified 5 studies and the updated search identified 208 additional articles, of which 5 studies underwent full-text review. For PICO 2 (ED intervention), the prior scoping review identified 5 studies and the updated search identified 191 additional articles, of which 2 studies underwent full-text review. No studies were identified that met full inclusion criteria for either PICO. Existing studies described multiple screening tools and multidisciplinary intervention models, but lacked comparator groups, standardized reference standards, or clinically meaningful outcome measures required for inclusion.
conclusionsThese empty systematic reviews emphasize the large existing knowledge gaps about ED elder mistreatment screening and intervention. These gaps affect the ability to make practice recommendations and highlight opportunities for future rigorous research to inform guideline development.
