Vulnerable Strata to Non-Adherence and Overuse in Treatment for Patients with Cognitive Impairment.
Article in Dementia and neurocognitive disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
background and purposeAppropriate medication treatment could enable both cognitively impaired patients and caregivers to hold on their cognitive functioning and quality of life. Thus, medication management and the factors influencing how management for this condition is carried out must be identified. In this study we aimed to evaluate the frequency of medication nonadherence (MNA) or drug overuse for cognitive impairment (DOC) and to extract significant variables, including the demographic and social characteristics, vascular risk factors, and cognitive status, for the diagnosis of MNA and DOC in Korean patients.
methodsWe investigated patients aged over 50 years between March 2019 and June 2019 via the cognitive enHancement of patIents with acQuired cognitive impairment (HIQ) campaign. MNA was defined as a participant who was classified as having cognitive impairment but did not take any cognition-related drugs, whereas DOC was defined as a participant who had normal cognition but was taking cognition-related drugs.
resultsWe included 10,767 patients. The MNA group consisted of 337 participants, whereas the DOC group comprised 1,107 participants. The factors that could differentiate the MNA group from the normal-behavior group were age, education, sex, and the total Korean version of Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE) score. The factors that could differentiate the DOC group from the normal medication-behavior group were age, sex, residential distinction, experience of a dementia screening test, and the total K-MMSE score.
conclusionsThe underlying factors contributing to inadequate dementia-medication management must be understood, and intervention or support is needed to enable safe medication management.
