Language-Based Strategies that Support Person-Centered Communication in Formal Home Care Interactions with Persons Living with Dementia.
Article in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Language-based strategies are recommended to improve coherence, clarity, reciprocity, and continuity of interactions with persons living with dementia. Person-centered care is the gold standard for caring for persons with dementia. Person-centered communication (PCC) strategies include facilitation, recognition, validation, and negotiation. Little is known about which language-based strategies support PCC in home care. Accordingly, this study investigated the overlap between language-based strategies and PCC in home care interactions. Analysis of conversation of 30 audio-recorded interactions between personal support workers (PSWs) and persons living with dementia was conducted. The overlap between PCC and language-based strategies was analyzed. Of 11,347 communication units, 2578 overlapped with PCC. For facilitation, 21% were yes/no questions. For recognition, 25% were yes/no questions and 22% were affirmations. For validation, 81% were affirmations and positive feedback. Finally, 60% were yes/no questions for negotiation. The findings highlight the person-centeredness of language-based strategies. PSWs should use diverse language-based strategies that are person-centered.
