Perspectives on Community Geriatrics: An Applied Proposal From Colombia, South America.
Article in Sage open aging. 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
This essay argues for the urgent need to redefine the role of geriatricians, as medical speciality, beyond hospital settings, emphasizing the importance of community geriatrics (CG) in Latin America. Despite global discussions on integrating CG in geriatric practice, its presence remains marginal in low-income countries, where older adults face systemic barriers to health care access. The essay calls for a discussion of CG within geriatric training model, which often prioritizes hospital-based care, and advocates for a community-based approaches to aging. Using a geriatric program in Colombia as a case study, the essay proposes that geriatric education should actively address poverty, inequity and local capacities to develop CG, and geriatricians must be involved beyond biomedical realities, developing capacities for interdisciplinary collaboration, social prescription, and rights-based care. A real-life case illustrates how levering community sources can enhance older persons' wellbeing, and how a geriatrician must be involved in the development of aging social policies.
