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

aimsTo assess the validity and completeness of the Care Register for Social Welfare among community-dwelling people with Alzheimer's disease in Finland.

methodsThe study was carried out in the Medication Use and Alzheimer's disease (MEDALZ) study population, which includes 70,719 people who received a clinically verified diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease between 2005 and 2011 and the people matched with them for comparison (

resultsThe required level of assistance at discharge was recorded for 99.7% of people, diagnoses for 5.1% of the care periods and the discharge date for 100% of the completed care periods. Depending on the definition of long-term care, 6-10% of all long-term care periods included drug purchases during the study period.
