Current Status and Challenges in Dementia Care in the Philippines: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Background: Dementia prevalence is increasing in low- and middle-income countries such as the Philippines. Objective: This study aimed to give an overview of dementia care in the Philippines and to identify gaps in terms of local epidemiology, research, financial coverage, diagnostics, pharmacotherapy, manpower, and caregiver support. Methods: This scoping review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines extension for scoping reviews. Six international and two local databases, and government and non-government websites were searched. Data published in the English or Filipino language on dementia epidemiology, research, diagnostics, management, manpower, and training were extracted from the earliest indexed record until June 2022. Results: The prevalence of dementia in the Philippines is high and research output on all aspects of dementia is low. Cost is a major barrier as health care coverage is limited, with reliance mainly on out-of-pocket payments, leading to challenges in the proper diagnosis and treatment of dementia. There is a low specialist-to-population ratio, with shortages beyond manpower and training. Conclusions: Gaps in dementia care include limited published local data, high healthcare costs, inadequate health financing, and limited manpower.
