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

backgroundAbuse of older people is a public health and human rights issue globally, with approximately 1 in 6 older adults experiencing abuse annually. This prevalence highlights the need for robust prevention strategies, even in Norway, despite its comprehensive healthcare systems.

objectivesThis study explored stakeholders' perceptions of existing legislation and guidelines, as well as the shortcomings that needs to be addressed to prevent abuse of older people in Norway.

methodsThe exploratory qualitative design employed in-depth and formal natural group interviews with stakeholders and experts in the abuse of older people field.

resultsThrough reflexive thematic analysis, three themes were identified: (1) Stakeholders experience with, and perspective on, abuse of older people; (2) System-level challenges in preventing abuse of older people; and (3) Pathways for systematic improvement and cultural change in preventing abuse of older people.

conclusionStakeholders identified key challenges including ambiguous definitions, complexity of the older adult population, and vulnerability to abuse. Findings emphasize the need to increase awareness and education, address insufficient competence, staffing, and resources, establish clear reporting guidelines, and improve interdisciplinary collaboration to prevent abuse of older people.
