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

Caregivers of persons with young-onset dementia (YOD) have an explicit need for tailored information and support about YOD. Therefore, during the European RHAPSODY project a web-based information and support program for YOD caregivers was developed. The program was recently tailored to the Dutch context. This study evaluates the Dutch version on user acceptability, usability, user satisfaction, and user behavior. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the publicly available Dutch RHAPSODY program. A pop-up survey, extensive survey, and a semi-structured interview were used to evaluate how visitors perceived the program in terms of acceptability, usability, and their satisfaction. Web metrics registered user behavior. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a deductive content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. Results: A total of 26 participants completed the pop-up survey, 19 completed the extensive survey, and 10 participated in the semi-structured interviews. Most participants were caregivers and healthcare professionals. They perceived the program as acceptable and usable in daily life and were satisfied with the quality of the content. The majority would use the program again and recommend it to others. Participants emphasized the necessity and desirability of a central platform incorporating educational and practical information about YOD. The page with an explanation about what YOD entails was most viewed (360 unique page views). Most time was spent on the page about the diagnostic process (6.5 min). Conclusions: The Dutch RHAPSODY program showed good user acceptability, usability, and user satisfaction. The program met the need for tailored information and support regarding YOD and adds value to existing available support for YOD caregivers. Raising awareness about the program's existence among healthcare professionals may help caregivers to find appropriate post-diagnostic information. The program also provides educational opportunities for healthcare professionals.
