Predictors of unmet needs in Chilean older people with dementia: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundThe needs of people with dementia (PWD) have not been assessed in any Latin American country. Several European countries have already related unmet needs with quality of life, caregiver's age, burden, stress, anxiety and depression. The aim of this study was to identify met and unmet needs in Chilean older adults with dementia and to determine if those needs were associated with PWD's, their informal caregivers' and social factors.
methodThis was a cross-sectional study. One-hundred and sixty-six informal caregivers and their care recipients were interviewed. PWD was assessed about cognitive function and their caregivers answered instruments about PWD's needs, functional status and behavioral and psychological symptoms. Caregiver's burden, depression, anxiety and social support were also evaluated. A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine predictors of unmet needs in Chilean PWD.
resultsThe most frequent met needs were "Looking after home" (81.3%%), "Food" (78.9%) and "Selfcare" (75.3%). Most common unmet needs were "Daily living activities" (39.2%), "Company" (36.1%), and "Memory" (34.9%). Caregivers' lower age was correlated to a higher number of PWD's unmet needs (r
conclusionIt is necessary to address psychological and social needs of PWD. The fact that PWD's unmet needs were associated mostly with caregivers' factors, highlights the importance of considering both, the PWD and their informal caregivers as targets of institutional support. It is expected that recently launched national public policies decrease PWD's unmet needs by the provision of new services for them and their informal caregivers.
