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

objectivesThere has been growing attention to understanding and preventing the abuse of older adults in Australia. Several inquiries, commissions and research reports have been undertaken to understand the prevalence and characteristics of elder abuse in community and institutional settings, and to develop recommendations to alleviate and prevent this problem. This study sought to map the recommendations regarding the prevention of the abuse of older adults from the last 15 years.

methodsThis research project reviewed 22 Australian federal and state-based elder abuse inquiries, reports and commissions.

resultsThree hundred and eighty-one recommendations around elder abuse were identified across eight themes. Consistent recommendations were made around financial abuse, legal responses and staff training.

conclusionsThe utility of new inquiries on elder abuse may be questionable given consistent findings across existing inquiries. These consistent recommendations provide direction for government action, identify gaps that require further attention and necessitate follow-through on implementation.
