[Linguistic portrait of a Russian-German speaking woman with dementia : Longitudinal observations from a German language nursing home].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe advantages of an individual use of the linguistic resources of multilingual persons in need of care are obvious, but quite often an implementation is hardly possible. This leads to a reduction of the linguistic abilities of those concerned.
objectiveThis case study shows the differences in the abilities of a Russian-German bilingual woman suffering from dementia in expressing herself in two languages and traces the longitudinal changes. MATERIAL AND
methodsData material from 4 years of observation (including conversation recordings, linguistic tests and interviews with nursing personnel) was used to create the linguistic portrait.
resultsThe expression abilities and changes in the languages were different. In German, the receptive abilities at word level and sentence level and productive abilities at word level remained unchanged over the entire period. In Russian, the situation was less stable; at the beginning, she was an interested interlocutor who could express herself fluently at all levels. Over time, her syntactic complexity and willingness to interact decreased; nevertheless, better and productive Russian skills remained.
conclusionThe asymmetrical distribution of the two languages entails the danger of a one-sided assessment of the general abilities of the person concerned. This underlines the need for a differentiated view of the languages.
