Assessing the use of the input of care users in long-term care homes during 2020-2023 in the Netherlands: an exploratory study.
Article in BMJ open quality, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHealthcare inspectorates are increasingly expected to involve care users during assessments of long-term care (LTC). Although healthcare inspectorates promise to improve the involvement of care users' experiences, they struggle to address this expectation. This study aims to explore the advancements in the participation of care users or informal caregivers during assessments of LTC homes, as reported in the Dutch Health and Youth Care Inspectorate reports in the Netherlands between 2020 and 2023.
objectiveThis study aims to explore the advancements in the participation of care users or informal caregivers during assessments of LTC homes in the Netherlands between 2020 and 2023.
methodsThis study comprised 273 publicly accessible inspection reports concerning LTC homes from 2020 to 2023. The frequency with which care users or informal caregivers were cited as sources of information was examined and compared across years.
resultsThe results show a significant increase in reporting the use of positive citations from care users for 3 items out of 16 of the assessment instrument between 2020 and 2023. In particular, significant differences in positive citations from care users were found only for items regarding the theme of attention to person-centred care.
conclusionsThe study concludes that although care users are particularly increasingly cited in inspection reports on LTC homes, there is still room for increasing the incorporation of care users' experiences in the reports on assessing quality of care in LTC homes.
