Representations of the experiences of people with dementia in Irish newspapers.

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
The aims of the study were to explore what personal narratives in Irish broadsheet and tabloid newspapers reveal about the lived experience of people with dementia. The sample included twenty narratives collected from five Irish newspapers between 2011 and 2017 inclusively. The relative absence of narratives of people with dementia in Irish newspapers is shown as only twelve of the twenty narratives contained the voice of the person with dementia themselves. Inductive analysis and thematic analysis generated four main themes with a total of thirteen subthemes. The main themes are: (1) Dementia as a personal journey, (2) stereotypes and stigma, (3) barriers and (4) awareness. This study highlights the under-representation of personal narratives of people with dementia in Irish newspapers which is seen as a contributing factor in the lack of understanding and awareness of dementia in society in general. Exploring mediated representations of the lived experience of people with dementia through personal narratives provides insight into the naturalised discourses of dementia which impact on people's lived experiences.
