Caffeine Consumption and Behavioral Symptoms in Nursing Home Residents: A Cross-Sectional Analysis.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveAlthough behavioral changes are common in nursing home residents with dementia and caffeine is known to influence behavior in healthy adults, the effects of caffeine on the behavior of persons with dementia has received little attention. In this study we assessed the relationship of caffeine and behavioral symptoms in older persons with dementia.
designA multicenter sub-cohort study embedded in the Elderly Care Physicians (ECP) training program.
settingDutch nursing homes associated with the ECP training program.
participantsA total of 206 individuals with both diabetes and dementia resident in Dutch nursing homes. MEASUREMENTS: Trainee ECPs collected data on caffeine consumption, cognition and behavioral symptoms using the NPI-NH, MDS-DRS and AES-C. Data on factors known to influence behavior in persons with dementia (e.g. marital status, kidney function, urinary tract infection and medication) were also collected.
resultsOf the 206 participants, 70% showed behavioral symptoms. An increase in caffeine consumption was associated with a decrease in the presence of behavioral symptoms in the NPI-NH cluster affect and NPI-NH item agitation. Caffeine consumption groups also differed on the presence of disinhibition and depression. In addition, the severity of dementia influenced agitation, anxiety and the clusters affect and psychomotor.
conclusionIn a large group of older persons with dementia resident in nursing homes, a low daily consumption of caffeine was associated with greater behavioral symptoms.
