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

The main objective of the current study was to ascertain the efficacy of a newly developed online, video-based dementia training and certification program for hospital staff, the CARES® Dementia 5-Step Method for Hospitals™ Online Training and Certification Program. A parallel randomized waitlist control design was utilized. Participants (N = 272) completed online pre-evaluation measures. Forty-five days after completion of CARES® (treatment) or pre-evaluation measures (control), participants completed a post-evaluation online assessment. Analyses of variance found that participants in the treatment condition indicated greater and statistically significant (p < .001) increases in sense of competence, approaches to dementia, and patient care. The results implied that the CARES® Dementia 5-Step Method for Hospitals™ program could serve as a dynamic resource for hospitals nationwide to update training and share experiences, perspectives, and resources. The inherent scalability of the program regarding its acceptability, feasibility, and potential to incorporate seamlessly into routine workflows and staff training suggests high implementation potential.
