Advancing Geriatric Care in Japan: Integrating the 5Ms Framework With Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment for Enhanced Clinical Practice in a Super-Aged Society.
Article in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundJapan faces unprecedented demographic challenges as the world's most rapidly aging country, with 29.4% of the population aged ≥ 65 (2025) and projections estimating 38% by 2065. While Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is the gold standard for geriatric care, its implementation in Japan remains limited to geriatric specialists, creating a significant gap in delivering optimal care to Japan's growing older adult population.
objectiveTo propose an integrated model that combines the 5Ms framework (Mind, Mobility, Medications, Multicomplexity, Matters Most) with CGA to enhance accessibility, practicality, and continuity of geriatric care in Japanese healthcare systems.
methodsThis position statement synthesizes evidence on CGA effectiveness and the educational and clinical utility of the 5Ms, evaluates cultural considerations in Japan, and proposes a three-tiered implementation model.
resultsThe integration of CGA and the 5Ms framework creates a tiered assessment continuum that adapts to clinical contexts, facilitates team-based care, and improves quality and continuity across settings. The model supports education, quality improvement, and culturally sensitive care planning.
conclusionsThe integration of the 5Ms and CGA offers a practical framework to formalize, connect, and strengthen geriatric care already being delivered across Japanese healthcare settings. The Japan Geriatrics Society supports this model as a guiding structure for phased implementation, workforce development, and ongoing evaluation to enhance the delivery of person-centered geriatric care in Japan.
