Care Integration in Primary Dementia Care Networks: A Longitudinal Mixed-Methods Study.
Article in International journal of integrated care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
introductionCurrently, care integration for community-dwelling persons with dementia is poor and knowledge on how to effectively facilitate development of integrated dementia care is lacking. The DementiaNet program aims to overcome this with a focus on interprofessional collaboration. The objective of this study is to investigate how care integration in interprofessional primary dementia care networks matures and to identify factors associated with (un)successfully maturation. THEORY AND
methodsA longitudinal mixed-methods study, including 17 primary care networks participating in the DementiaNet study, was performed. Semi-structured interviews based on the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care were conducted at start, at 12- and 24 months. Network maturity scores (range 1-4) were derived from the interviews and qualitative data was used to explain the observed patterns.
resultsNetworks consisted on average of 9 professionals (range 4-22) covering medical, care and social disciplines. Network maturity yearly increased with 0.29 (95%-CI: 0.20-0.38). Important factors for improvement included getting to know each other's expertise, having a capable network leader(s), stable network composition and participation of a general practitioner.
conclusionsThe DementiaNet approach enables a transition towards more mature networks. Identified success factors provide better understanding of how network maturity can be achieved and gives guidance to future care integration strategies.
