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

Canada's Veterans are an aging population, and many Veterans in this cohort are positioned to age with increasingly complex health and social needs. These changing circumstances have created a need to determine whether existing systems and services can support this generation of Veterans. In this article, the authors envision a healthy aging strategy for Canada's Veterans to support their overall health and well-being and enable aging in the right place. Healthy aging presents an opportunity to shift the emphasis in Veteran care to one that is more proactive and preventive and holistically focuses on lifelong health and well-being. To achieve this, the authors begin by detailing why it is urgent to reconceptualize Veterans' care and what the concept of healthy aging offers. Last, they discuss how other countries have supported the healthy aging of their Veterans and collaborative practices to support this effort.
