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

In a theory-driven, qualitative, multiple-case study, we examined the implementation of national dementia plans (NDPs) in Denmark, Germany, and Italy to determine how stakeholders involved in implementing the NDPs evaluate contextual factors in light of the World Health Organization's seven action areas of dementia-focused policy. To analyse the NDPs, we used a driver diagram of large-scale change and conducted both document analysis and semi-structured interviews, after which we performed three-way open coding to analyse the methods. The results show that the implementation of NDPs has increased awareness of dementia in all three countries by positioning the disease as a national public health concern. The study also reveals that resources, the use of change theory, and the monitoring of implementation and fragmentation are crucial factors to consider for countries when implementing NDPs. Although stakeholders find the NDPs useful, many challenges remain for their successful implementation due to the highly limited means for implementation and evaluation. Moreover, present NDPs all lack a communication plan that encompasses all layers of society to address ways of achieving change. Patients with dementia, and their informal caregivers, should be included more in the design, implementation, and evaluation of NDPs in order to improve their usefulness and effectiveness.
