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

Do professional actors playing someone with dementia in training situations have knowledge of what it is like to be someone with dementia? And what knowledge? In preparation of a phenomenological study into the experience of people with advanced dementia in residential care, we interviewed four of these actors. Reflecting on their own experience with people with dementia and other experiences in their life enabled them to explore and find a reservoir of movements, gestures, postures, gazes, emotions, and responses from which they draw during their play. This reservoir is confirmed and refined in their playing persons with dementia. Their preparation, experience while playing, and reflection, validated by the response from caregivers, family members and people with dementia, make their knowledge as near as we can get to the experience of people with advanced dementia. Taking in this knowledge contributes to a larger repertoire to draw from in practising moral imagination.
