1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThe patient-centered movement advocates for greater attention to the outcomes that matter most to patients and their families. In neurodegenerative disease, determination of patient and caregiver priorities has received scant attention in part because dementia patients are deemed unreliable reporters. However, people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) likely retain capacity to report their preferences.

methodsIn two separate MCI cohorts, we conducted preliminary analyses of patient and caregiver priorities among seven patient and five caregiver outcomes of the HABIT

resultsVia interview and paper-and-pencil reporting both patient and caregiver respondents' ranked patient and caregiver quality of life and patient self-efficacy as highest priorities, ranking them ahead of patient and caregiver mood, patient functional status, patient distressing behaviors and caregiver burden. Patients and caregivers tended to value the outcomes for their loved ones higher than their own outcomes.

conclusionCaregivers appeared to be reasonable, but not perfect, proxies for patient reports. Additional research with larger cohorts and a more comprehensive range of outcomes is needed.
