Living Lab Dementia: process evaluation of an academic-practice partnership in German long term care for people living with dementia - study protocol.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundLiving Labs, as a type of academic-practice partnerships, possess the potential to transform care and research into a participatory partnership and narrow the research-practice gap to improve evidence-based and Person-centred care. Given the lack of systematic investigations of Living Labs in healthcare, we will establish a dementia-specific academic-practice partnership (Living Lab Dementia) in Germany and conduct a process evaluation. The aim of this study is to gain insights into the intervention itself (mechanisms of impact) and its implementation process (degree of implementation, barriers, and facilitators).
methodsThis process evaluation of the multi-center research project PraWiDem (German acronym for linking professional nursing practice and research in dementia) will be conducted applying a convergent mixed methods design and will be based on the Medical Research Council (MRC) framework for the development and evaluation of complex interventions. The intervention is presented in a logic model which describes relevant basic theoretical assumptions, intervention components, implementation aspects, mechanisms of impact, relevant outcomes, and the context in which the intervention is delivered. Data will be collected before the intervention (T DISCUSSION: Our study will provide important insights into the Living Lab Dementia intervention and its implementation processes. The results of this evaluation will contribute to the refinement of the intervention and its implementation processes, and will enable to measure the impact of these processes in future studies.
