Stakeholder perceptions of dementia in Colombia: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundThe global rise in dementia prevalence poses a significant public health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where resources for diagnosis, treatment, and support are constrained. Addressing this issue, the World Health Organization's 2017-2025 global action plan on dementia envisions a future where dementia is preventable, and individuals with dementia and their caregivers receive dignified support.
methodsUsing a qualitative research design, this study explores stakeholder perspectives on dementia in Colombia, framed by the World Health Organization's global action plan. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 key stakeholders from the academia, government, and the community. Data were analyzed using framework analysis.
resultsThe interviews revealed a lack of recognition and prioritization of dementia as a public health concern in Colombia. Stakeholders expressed consensus on several challenges, including inadequate community awareness, persistent stigma, insufficient services across care levels, a lack of education for healthcare professionals, and a deficit in research characterizing the dementia population. Paradoxically, participants noted a positive trend, indicating growing awareness among both scientific and non-scientific populations.
conclusionsDementia must urgently be recognized as a public health priority in Colombia. The identified barriers underscore the struggles faced by individuals with dementia and their families, emphasizing the critical need for increased community and governmental awareness.
