Functioning and Disability in Community-Living People with Perceived Cognitive Impairment or Dementia: A Mixed Methods Study using the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo explore how community-living people with perceived cognitive impairment or dementia and their next-of-kin perceive functioning and disability in major life domains.
methodsIndividual interviews guided by the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0) were conducted with 26 people with perceived cognitive impairment or dementia (age range 38-87 years) and 26 next-of-kin. Qualitative content analysis- and International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) linking methods were used to analyse the transcripts. The perceived degree of disability in daily functioning was calculated and compared between people with perceived cognitive impairment or dementia and next-of-kin, using a Mann-Whitney U test.
resultsA total of 38 of 47 (81%) established ICF categories corresponding to WHODAS items and 38 additional International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) categories describing participants perceived cognitive and physical impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions in interaction with the environmental factors were confirmed from the transcripts. The perceived disability of people with perceived cognitive impairment or dementia was scored higher by next-of-kin (48%) than by people with perceived cognitive impairment or dementia (16%, p < 0.0001).
conclusionInterviews provided a comprehensive picture of participants' perceived activity limitations and participation restrictions in the life domains cognition, mobility, self-care, getting along, life activities, and participation. For a better understanding of the impact of cognitive impairment on people's daily lives, inclusion of the perspective of the next-of-kin and the factors that hinder or facilitate daily living in the community setting is necessary.
