Putting dementia awareness into general practice : The CADIF approach.
Synthesis in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundInternational studies show that dementia is often recognized at later stages in general practice. Pure knowledge-sharing interventions could not change this in a sustainable manner. Concepts for changing attitudes of general practitioners (GPs) are required.
objectivesWhat barriers affect GPs' recognition of and diagnostic approach to dementia? What recommendations for a GP-specific diagnostic procedure can be derived from this?
methodsMetasynthesis of qualitative studies with GPs on barriers to dementia recognition, explication of the "frailty" concept and the diagnostic approach described therein and the development of an approach in cases of suspected cognitive decline in a multiprofessional team.
resultsA metasynthesis of qualitative studies revealed a lack of a general practice framework in the diagnostic approach of GPs, characterized by poor patient-centeredness and confusion of early detection, diagnostics and disclosure. The embedding of cognitive decline into the geriatric triad is intended to promote the focus on everyday function and quality of life, i.e. on caring instead of curing. The proposed concept for a transfer into practice emphasizes increased awareness for cognitive warning signs among practice personnel, a geriatric and personal approach to the patient, as well as follow-up assessment and monitoring.
conclusionIn contrast to early recognition, awareness initially does not imply an active search for cognitive deficits with questions and tests but a vigilance for red flags. The described scheme is a component of a complex intervention for attitude change among GPs towards dementia.
