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.

Abstract

backgroundLinkage to medical services is key to early detection, diagnosis, and care for dementia. Yet, racial and ethnic minoritized older adults and their caregivers are particularly vulnerable to inequity in dementia care due to limited dementia literacy. Mobilizing community resources such as community health workers (CHWs) can benefit older patients and their caregivers who are challenged by linguistic barriers and low health literacy.

methodsPreparing for healthy aging through dementia Literacy education And Navigation (PLAN), is a CHW-led intervention program designed to promote linkage to medical services for dementia and caregiver outcomes in a multi-site clinical trial in the Greater Washington and New York metropolitan areas. This protocol describes the rationale, design, and methods of the PLAN trial.

conclusionWe recruited 288 dyads of eligible Korean American older adults with undiagnosed dementia and their caregivers, totaling 576 participants. Data collection is ongoing. Findings from this trial will contribute to knowledge around identifying community-dwelling older adults with probable dementia with limited health resources as well as navigating appropriate medical evaluation and support. CLINICALTRIALS: gov identifier: NCT03909347.
