[Attitudes toward persons with dementia : A population survey from Switzerland].
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDementia diseases, primarily Alzheimer's disease, are on the rise worldwide. Adequate management of this development requires the involvement of the general population in appropriate measures; it also requires knowledge of the attitudes of the population with respect to the disease and the people it affects. A survey was thus conducted to discover the Swiss population's attitude towards people with Alzheimer's disease or related forms of dementia (ADRD) and identify the factors that influence this attitude. MATERIAL AND
methodsA nationwide standardized telephone survey of 862 people aged 18 years and older was conducted in German, French, and Italian between July and September 2018.
resultsAge and attitude toward age were found to be significant predictors of attitudes towards people with ADRD. Subdividing this attitude into a cognitive and an affective conative component helped to more precisely assign the influences of independent variables. Regression models showed a positive effect on the affective conative component for contact with people with ADRD, being well informed, experienced pleasures, and a positive attitude toward age, while education, gender, and age had a positive impact on the cognitive component. Nevertheless, the independent variables could explain only part of the variance.
conclusionDespite the overall positive attitude toward people with ADRD in the Swiss population, the results of this study have certain practical implications: in addition to being well informed, experience with people with ADRD has a positive influence on attitudes toward persons with this disease. Therefore, such contact should be encouraged to revise any negative perceptions of people with ADRD.
