Implementation of the Evidence Integration Triangle for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (EIT-4-BPSD) in care communities.

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
backgroundFederal regulations stipulate that behavioral interventions be used for behavioral and psychological symptoms of distress in dementia (BPSD). Care community staff have difficulty implementing these approaches. PURPOSE: This study tested an implementation strategy, the Evidence Integration Triangle for BPSD (EIT-4-BPSD), for assisting staff in the use of evidence-based behavioral approaches for BPSD.
methodsAbout 55 care communities were randomized to EIT-4-BPSD or usual care; 553 residents were enrolled. The implementation strategy was delivered by research facilitators, staff, stakeholders, and champions over 12 months. It involved four components: Environment and policy assessments; Staff education; Establishment of person-centered care plans; and Mentoring and motivating staff. The implementation strategy was evaluated using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance model.
findingsThere was no evidence for resident or care community effectiveness. There was evidence of adoption and implementation. DISCUSSION: EIT-4-BPSD was helpful as an implementation strategy and staff altered how care was provided.
