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 emergency department evaluates many patients with undiagnosed cognitive impairment and presents an opportune setting to facilitate early detection and referral to memory care specialists. We evaluated a novel care navigation pathway that facilitated referrals of ethnoculturally diverse individuals with suspected cognitive impairment from geriatric professionals embedded in the emergency department to dementia specialist care. We compared rates of referrals and successful appointment attendance for patients in this pathway compared to patients in a traditional primary care provider referral pathway. The care navigation team successfully identified and mitigated multiple barriers to accessing dementia specialist care, thereby increasing access.
