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
objectiveAlzheimer's disease has become the great epidemic of the 21st century, being a challenge for the sustainability of the social and health system. Alzheimer's causes disability and dependency among the elderly, requiring continued care with therapies that improve the health and quality of life of these people. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological therapies applied to people with Alzheimer's in Primary Care.
methodsA systematic review of articles published between April 2017 and April 2022 was carried out, applying the PRISMA methodology. The databases consulted were: PubMed, CINAHL, Dialnet, Web of Science and PsycINFO. MeSH and DeSH were used, with the Boolean operators AND and OR. The quality of the articles was evaluated with the STROBE, COCHRANE, AMSTAR-2 and JBI scales.
resultsA total of nineteen articles were selected in which various non-pharmacological therapies and their effectiveness in people with Alzheimer's were evaluated. Therapies based on physical activity and rehabilitation, cognitive stimulation and occupational therapy with music, animals and art, applied and maintained over time, are an alternative which, either combined or applied in isolation, are effective in preventing, stopping and slowing down Alzheimer's disease symptoms, especially in the first phase.
conclusionsPhysical activity and rehabilitation, cognitive stimulation and therapy with music, animals and art, improve the health status and quality of life of patients with Alzheimer's disease in the first phase of the disease.
