Fourth Canadian Consensus Conference on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dementia: recommendations for family physicians.

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 revise diagnostic strategies for Alzheimer disease (AD), update recommendations on symptomatic treatment of dementia, and provide an approach to rapidly progressive and early-onset dementias. COMPOSITION OF THE COMMITTEE: Experts and delegates representing relevant disciplines from diverse regions across Canada discussed and agreed upon revisions to the 2006 guidelines.
methodsThe GRADE (grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation) system was used to evaluate consensus on recommendations, which was defined as when 80% or more of participants voted for the recommendation. Evidence grades are reported where possible. REPORT: Important for FPs, despite advances in liquid biomarkers and neuroimaging, the diagnosis of dementia in Canada remains fundamentally clinical. New core clinical criteria for the diagnosis of AD now recognize less common, non-amnestic forms. Early-onset dementia, a rare but important condition, should prompt referral to specialists with access to genetic counselors. Rapidly progressive dementia, poorly defined in the literature, is described to facilitate detection of this rare but important condition. There are new expanded indications for cholinesterase inhibitors beyond AD, as well as guidelines for their discontinuation, which had not been previously described. New evidence regarding use of memantine, antidepressants, and other psychotropic medications in dementia care is presented.
conclusionSeveral recommendations from the Fourth Canadian Consensus Conference on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dementia are relevant to FPs. For guidelines to remain useful, family physicians should participate in all stages of the ongoing development process, including topic selection.
