1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis study evaluated the association between age, sex, comorbidities, cognition, and administration of opioids with pain and the impact of all of these variables plus function, agitation, resistiveness to care, and depression on quality of life among residents in nursing home with severe dementia.

designThis was a descriptive study using baseline data from the Evidence Integration Triangle for Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia implementation study.

methodsModel testing was done using structural equation modeling. The sample included 553 residents from 55 nursing homes with a mean age of 83.88 (standard deviation = 10.44) and mean Brief Interview of Mental Status of 4.30 (standard deviation = 3.50).

resultsThere were significant associations showing those who were older, male, had fewer comorbidities, better cognition, and were black were more likely to have pain. Pain, in combination with the demographic and descriptive variables, explained 32% of the variance in function, 75% of the variance in depression, 88% of the variance in agitation, 98% of the variance in resistiveness to care, and 92% of the variance in quality of life. The model however did not show a good fit to the data.

settingThe study was done in 55 nursing homes in Maryland and Pennsylvania. PARTICIPANTS/SUBJECTS: A total of 553 residents were included in the study.

conclusionsThe model did not have a good fit with the data which likely was due to the lack of variance in outcomes. The hypothesized paths, with the exception of opioid use, were significant.
