A nationwide survey of Italian Centers for Cognitive Disorders and Dementia on the provision of care for international migrants.
Article in European journal of neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundMore than 500,000 dementia cases can be estimated among migrants living in Europe. There is the need to collect "real world" data on the preparedness of healthcare services to support the inclusion of migrants in the public health response to dementia. The present study aimed (i) to estimate the number of migrants referred to Italian memory clinics (Centers for Cognitive Disorders and Dementia [CCDDs]) and (ii) to identify possible barriers and resources for the provision of diversity-sensitive care.
methodsA survey of all Italian CCDDs was conducted between December 2020 and April 2021. An online questionnaire was developed to obtain information on the number of migrants referred to Italian CCDDs in 2019, the challenges encountered in the diagnostic approach, and possible facilitators in the provision of care.
resultsOverall, 343 of the 570 contacted CCDDs completed the survey questionnaire (response rate: 60.2%). Nearly 4527 migrants were referred to these services in 2019. Migrants accounted for a median 1.1% (IQR: 0.9%-2.8%) of overall CCDD referrals. More than one-third of respondents reported that the number of migrants referred to their facilities had increased in the last 5 years. The overall quality of the migrants' cognitive assessment was deemed to be very poor or insufficient in most cases. A minority of CCDDs had translated information material on dementia and reported the possibility to contact cultural mediators and interpreters.
conclusionsA relevant number of migrants are being referred to Italian CCDDs that are still not adequately prepared to deliver diversity-sensitive care and support.
