Shifting Paradigms: Advance Care Planning for Pain Management in Older Adults With Dementia.
Review in The Gerontologist, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Ensuring effective pain management is an important quality of life (and death) issue for older adults with dementia, particularly since they are more vulnerable to under-assessment and under-treatment of pain. Yet, pain management decisions are often made by health care providers and caregivers with little to no input on the older adult's with dementia values for pain management. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has recognized the revolutionary imperative to change the manner in which pain care is planned and coordinated. Implementing advance care planning (ACP) prior to advanced stages of dementia may assist in developing a person-centered pain management plan and improve pain care for this population throughout the dementia trajectory. This forum overviews the current state of pain management in dementia, discusses the significance of ACP in a pain management context, and offers practical solutions for common challenges in ACP. Dementia in this article is an umbrella term referring to the many forms of dementiathat cause cognitive impairment.
