Implementation effectiveness of psychosocial and environmental care practices in assisted living.
Article in Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06239688 (Evaluating a National Person-Centered Training Program to Strengthen the Dementia Care Workforce), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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

Abstract
Psychosocial and environmental care practices are recommended to address behavioral expressions in persons with dementia, but their use has been limited partly because guidance is lacking regarding implementation. In response, we developed a simple "how-to" guide of evidence-based protocols for aromatherapy, natural light, familiar music, and robotic pets; trained staff in four assisted living (AL) communities to use the practices; provided materials; met with them regularly; and evaluated fidelity, facilitators and barriers to implementation, and staff knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy. After two months, staff reported more familiarity, confidence, and use; barriers such as difficulty locating supplies and task-focused staff with limited time; and staff "champion" facilitators. Notable differences were identified across communities, suggesting that just as care to individuals must be person-centered, practices embraced by communities must fit that community. Through strategic adoption, successful implementation is possible. The "how-to" guide is appropriate for AL, nursing homes, and persons' own homes.
