[Disclosure and informative consultation after diagnosis of dementia: retrospective perception from the point of view of relatives].

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
backgroundMany studies have shown that relatives of dementia patients often report not being given enough information about dementia and current treatment possibilities by the diagnosing physicians. Especially at the beginning of the disease, there is a high need for counseling.
methodsBy means of a newly developed questionnaire, 279 relatives of dementia patients were asked in an exploratory manner about the general situation and problems concerning the information provided to the patient during disclosure of the diagnosis. Quantitative data were presented descriptively and group-specific differences were tested for statistical significance.
resultsInformation concerning the diagnosis by a specialist directly after disclosure of diagnosis, referral to regional support services, informational brochures, and a personal approach are determining factors concerning satisfying the relatives' need for information.
conclusionProblem areas were determined and specific recommendations for the practice of patient disclosure and briefing of relatives were shown.
