Design and development of the first randomized controlled trial of an intervention (IDEA) for sexual and gender minority older adults living with dementia and care partners.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundHeightened risks of cognitive impairment, disability, and barriers to care among sexual and gender minority (SGM) older adults are well documented. To date, culturally responsive evidence-based dementia interventions for this population do not exist.
objectiveThis study describes the design of the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) testing a culturally responsive cognitive behavioral and empowerment intervention, Innovations in Dementia Empowerment and Action (IDEA), developed to address the unique needs of SGM older adults living with dementia and care partners.
methodsIDEA is a culturally enhanced version of Reducing Disability in Alzheimer's Disease (RDAD), an efficacious, non-pharmaceutical intervention for people with dementia and care partners. We utilized a staggered multiple baseline design with the goal to enroll 150 dyads randomized into two arms of 75 dyads each, enhanced IDEA and standard RDAD.
resultsIDEA was adapted using findings from the longitudinal National Health, Aging, and Sexuality/Gender study, which identified modifiable factors for SGM older adults, including SGM-specific discrimination and stigma, health behaviors, and support networks. The adapted intervention employed the original RDAD strategies and enhanced them with culturally responsive empowerment practices designed to cultivate engagement, efficacy, and support mobilization. Outcomes include adherence to physical activity, reduction in perceived stress and stigma, and increased physical functioning, efficacy, social support, engagement, and resource use.
conclusionIDEA addresses contemporary issues for underserved populations living with dementia and their care partners. Our findings will have important implications for marginalized communities by integrating and evaluating the importance of cultural responsiveness in dementia and caregiving interventions.
