Data from the PASSI d'Argento Surveillance System on Difficulties Met by Older Adults in Accessing Health Services in Italy as Major Risk Factor to Health Outcomes.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. 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
(1) Age-friendly health systems ensure access to quality healthcare services to all people, especially older adults. (2) We used data on elderly population collected from 2016 to 2019 by the Italian ongoing surveillance system PASSI d'Argento to analyze the prevalence and associations between accessing health services and modifiable risk factors included in the 25 × 25 strategy for the burden of noncommunicable diseases with health outcomes. (3) Chronic diseases and hospitalization as descriptors of health status showed that the elderly perceived as having poor access to care and prevention incurred a higher risk of hospitalization. The association between difficulties in accessing health services and hospitalization was always the highest in terms of the adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR), regardless of the other behavioral risk factors considered, controlling each model with sociodemographic conditions. Elderly hospitalized at least once for two days or more in the last 12 months had greater risk to have problems in accessing health services, whereas the model included health conditions such as obesity (aPR = 1.95 95% CI 1.75-2.17), smoking (aPR = 1.95 95% CI 1.76-2.16), alcohol use (aPR = 1.93 95% CI 1.73-2.14), hypertension (aPR = 1.92 95% CI 1.73-2.13) and diabetes (aPR = 1.91 95% CI 1.73-2.12). (4) Health policies should encompass socio-economic and living environment barriers which prevent access to care among older adults.
