Responding to Varying Levels of Certainty about Pain in People with Dementia after Initial Pain Assessment.
Article in Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders extra. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionPain is still inadequately treated in people with dementia (PWD) due to the complexity of assessing it. Pain assessment in PWD is still challenging because of patient-related or nurse-related factors. The patient-related factors have been studied extensively. However, the nurse-related factors, e.g., nurses' certainty regarding suspected pain in PWD, have been given little attention by researchers. PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate how the degree of nurses' certainty is compromised after pain assessment and how this affects levels of pain and agitation in PWD.
methodA descriptive, correlational design was used, and a convenience sample of 104 nursing home residents with dementia were recruited.
resultsThis study found that nurses' certainty after the pain assessment mediates the relationship between the type of pain assessment and patient outcomes when the nurses had a high initial certainty. When nurses had a low initial certainty, their certainty after the assessment and the type of assessment predicted the levels of pain and agitation in PWD.
conclusionUnderstanding how nurses' certainty can be compromising after pain assessment and how this relates to pain management in PWD is crucial.
