Family perceptions of mouth care for assisted living residents with dementia: Implications for care.
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. 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
Mouth care is an important component of care for persons with dementia in assisted living (AL). However, there is little information about family member knowledge, beliefs, and experiences with resident oral health. Family perceptions and involvement in care may impact oral and systemic health for AL residents. Therefore, semi-structured interviews to assess these domains were conducted with 23 adult family members of AL residents with dementia, from 9 AL communities. Thematic analysis found that families identified (1) the centrality of oral health to well-being; (2) organizational influences on mouth care; (3) mouth care in the context of dementia; and (4) collaboration to facilitate mouth care. Family perspectives can provide useful guidance for collaborative interventions that support oral health and mouth care in AL.
