'Firstly, I'm not treated like a fool.'-the perspective of people with dementia on a dementia-friendly hospital.
Article in Age and ageing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDementia-friendly hospitals are increasingly discussed in healthcare, politics, research and society as a way to improve hospital stays for people with dementia. However, the perspective of people with dementia is often underrepresented, and current definitions and concepts are primarily based on the expertise of healthcare professionals.
objectivesTo identify characteristics of a dementia-friendly hospital from the perspective of people with dementia.
methodsA qualitative design embedded in a case study was used. We conducted 15 semi-structured interviews with people with dementia during their hospital stay. The interviews were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis with an inductive approach. In our study, we adopted a participatory approach and actively involved people with dementia and other stakeholders in the development of the interview guide and in the data analysis.
resultsThe participants expect more than what's necessary from a dementia-friendly hospital, as presented by eight characteristics identified: (i) The most important thing is how we treat each other; (ii) Someone cares about ME; (iii) No hully gully! I want professional care; (iv) Focusing on my goals; (v) LOOK! I've still got capabilities; (vi) Skipping Groundhog Day; (vii) A bit of both: mingle and single, and (viii) Recognising what relatives mean to me.
conclusionOur results highlight the importance of involving people with dementia in the development of dementia-friendly hospitals as only they have the lived experience and a different perspective from that of healthcare professionals.
