Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment: Addressing Unmet Healthcare Needs in Older Adults.
Review in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. 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
This narrative review examines the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA), a multidisciplinary approach used to evaluate and manage the health of older adults. CGA has been shown to improve functional status, reduce hospital readmissions, delay institutionalization, and lower mortality. Despite these benefits, systematic implementation remains limited. Major barriers include shortages in the workforce and resources, a lack of standardized protocols, and insufficient training in geriatric competencies. These challenges leave many older adults with unmet healthcare needs, particularly in chronic disease management, functional limitations, mental health, and social support. Nurses are well positioned to address these gaps because of their expertise in patient-centered care, care coordination, and chronic disease management. Strengthening geriatric nursing education and integrating CGA into routine nursing practice can improve outcomes for the aging population. Although CGA is often associated with hospital settings, its future lies in broader application. Digital solutions scheduled health assessments, workforce planning, and community- or home-based evaluations can make CGA more accessible. Policymakers, healthcare systems, and educational institutions must work together to develop policies that embed CGA within primary healthcare.
