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
The Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) movement has spread widely in recent years, with nearly 5000 healthcare organizations across the country recognized as Age-Friendly. Despite this broad recognition, there is little focus on how AFHS are implemented and the impact of implementation. The objectives of this study were to describe the strategies employed to support AFHS implementation in outpatient settings and to identify the measures used to evaluate implementation and effectiveness. We conducted a systematic review of literature from multiple databases spanning 2015 to March 2024, identified eligible studies using predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria, and extracted key data (eg, study design, study population, implementation strategies, outcomes/measures). We identified ten eligible studies from primary care clinics (N = 8), convenient care clinics (N = 1) and a cancer center (N = 1). The studies employed over 65 implementation strategies and 98 outcomes or measures. The vast majority of measures mapped to components of the 4Ms (Mobility, Mentation, Medication, What Matters), with up to ten measures per M category. Five of ten studies had reporting discrepancies and four did not fully define outcomes. The ten included studies serve as clear examples for the need for more evidence to support AFHS implementation in outpatient settings. Existing research lacks strategy specification and standardization of measures. We present gaps and opportunities to advance from AFHS "recognition" to impact.
