Met and unmet care needs of home-living people with dementia in China: An observational study using the Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly.
Observational study in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
aimThe goal of the study was to investigate the patterns of needs in older individuals with mild-to-moderate dementia living at home using the Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly questionnaire.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study. A total of 378 home-living residents served as the sample. The Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly questionnaire was used to analyze the needs of those receiving adequate interventions (met needs) and those without appropriate supports (unmet needs). Thereafter, the factors that correlated with total needs were determined using demographic characteristics.
resultsPersons with dementia (PWD) had a mean care needs of 18.5 ± 5.4 (range 5-35). Unmet needs were most common in caring for someone (65.1%), looking after the home (63.5%), self-care (58.7%) and intimate relationships (44.4%) domains. Higher needs were significantly related to living with others than a spouse, longer length of diagnosis, older age and higher cognitive function.
conclusionUnmet needs are common in home-living PWD. Home-based dementia care can identify and address PWD's unmet needs by focusing on care recipients and caregivers to enable PWD to remain safely at home and improve their quality of life. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2021; 21: 102-107.
