ReviewThe primary care companion for CNS disorders2013
Practical diagnosis and management of dementia due to Alzheimer's disease in the primary care setting: an evidence-based approach.
Review in The primary care companion for CNS disorders, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
objectiveTo review evidence-based guidance on the primary care of Alzheimer's disease and clinical research on models of primary care for Alzheimer's disease to present a practical summary for the primary care physician regarding the assessment and management of the disease. DATA SOURCES: References were obtained via search using keywords Alzheimer's disease AND primary care OR collaborative care OR case finding OR caregivers OR guidelines. Articles were limited to English language from January 1, 1990, to January 1, 2013. STUDY SELECTION: Articles were reviewed and selected on the basis of study quality and pertinence to this topic, covering a broad range of data and opinion across geographical regions and systems of care. The most recent published guidelines from major organizations were included.
resultsPractice guidelines contained numerous points of consensus, with most advocating a central role for the primary care physician in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Review of the literature indicated that optimal medical and psychosocial care for people with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers may be best facilitated through collaborative models of care involving the primary care physician working within a wider interdisciplinary team.
conclusionsEvidence-based guidelines assign the primary care physician a critical role in the care of people with Alzheimer's disease. Research on models of care suggests the need for an appropriate medical/nonmedical support network to fulfill this role. Given the diversity and breadth of services required and the necessity for close coordination, nationwide implementation of team-based, collaborative care programs may represent the best option for improving care standards for patients with Alzheimer's disease.
