Relationship between care dependency and behavioral symptoms among elderly in-patients with Alzheimer's disease in Japan and the Netherlands.

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
objectiveThis study investigates the influence of personal characteristics and health-related variables on the care dependency status among elderly in-patients with clinically diagnosed Alzheimer's disease in two countries.
methodsA descriptive cross-cultural survey was administered to a convenience sample of 137 elderly in-patients. Patients were recruited from a hospital in Japan (N = 77) and from a nursing home in the Netherlands (N = 60).
resultsIn both countries, almost all participants are assessed on the severity level of care dependency in the range of "completely care dependent" (Japan: 35.1%; the Netherlands: 20.0%), or "to a great extent care dependent" (Japan: 24.7%; the Netherlands: 45.0%), to "partially care dependent" (Japan: 22.1%; the Netherlands: 21.7%).
conclusionThis study demonstrates that there is no interdependence between the severity level of care dependency and personal characteristics of patients with Alzheimer's disease in both countries. Regarding the interplay of health-related variables on the severity level of care dependency, a difference was found between countries.
