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

introductionIndividuals with dementia spend most of the day without care, without encounters, and usually without activity. Although this has been proven in studies, there is a knowledge gap on how individuals with dementia experience these periods of time. Such knowledge would be highly relevant for health professionals and relatives to develop adequate strategies for dealing with these periods of time. The METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We conduct a living evidence map, based on a comprehensive systematic literature search in MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO/Ovid and Web of Science Core Collection, citation-based searches and web searches. We include studies on times without care and encounters of individuals with dementia from the perspective of individuals with dementia themselves and formal or informal caregivers of any observational study design that were conducted in the institutional and domestic long-term care setting and published as journal article in English, French or German language without any restriction of the publication year. One reviewer screens titles, abstracts and full texts and extracts data. Key characteristics and results of the included studies are charted in a tabular format. The searches will be run and continuously updated throughout the duration of the overarching ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval is not required for this evidence map. We disseminate our findings via journal articles and conference proceedings as well as other formats. REGISTRATION DETAILS: This review protocol is uploaded on Open Science Framework (OSF; DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/GDYZ9).
