Integration of resources in social and healthcare services for ensuring the continuity of care to frail individuals aged 65 or over: an Italian experience.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: Globally the ongoing reforms of the national healthcare systems are carrying out social and health services closer to users, increasingly reaching them at home. This approach addresses the challenges posed by population aging, chronic diseases, and social inequalities. Effective solutions require combining experience, expertise, and resources within a unified organizational model for the social and health care services provision. This is particularly crucial for providing integrated care to frail individuals aged 65 or over. This article aims to explore service innovations for frail population aged 65 years or older, focusing on the integrated management of economic and professional resources in health and social services to ensure continuity of care. Method: The Agency of Integration for Continuity between Hospital and Territory (AgICOT), a service financed by the Italian Ministry of Health designed for frail individuals aged 65 or over in Local Health Authority of Teramo (Abruzzo, Italy) was selected as case study. Results: AgICOT utilized health plans and health budgets to integrate social and health goals and resources into a single social and health care pathway, avoiding duplication of interventions, saving resources, and ensuring economic sustainability of social and healthcare systems. Discussion: AgICOT has demonstrated its effectiveness as organizational response to the complex needs of frail individuals aged 65 or over, ensuring high-quality social and healthcare services in a sustainable manner. Final considerations: The co-responsibility of various stakeholders has been the key to the success of this project, creating the conditions for transitioning from hospital-based to person-based social and healthcare in line with international recommendations on integrated care and continuity of care.
