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

objectiveTo give FPs an understanding of the "lived experience" of dementia via the words of a person with dementia (PWD)- Faye Forbes, a 64-year-old Anglican priest with Alzheimer disease who provides her perspectives on living with dementia-and to use these thoughts to improve care and outcomes. SOURCES OF INFORMATION: Ovid MEDLINE was searched from January 2005 to February 2015 using subject headings for dementia, caregiver, perspectives, and quality of health care. Articles geared toward FPs were selected. Relevant review articles and original research articles were used when appropriate and if they were applicable to PWDs and their caregivers. MAIN MESSAGE: There are several frameworks that organize the main experiences described by patients and caregivers. We used a review of the qualitative literature to provide the framework to summarize Faye's experience under the following headings: seeking a diagnosis, accessing supports and services, information needs, disease management, and communication and attitudes.

conclusionPhysicians should consider these themes when developing a management plan for PWDs. Trying to understand the experiences and perspectives of PWDs and their caregivers is important in providing optimal care.
