Attitudes towards dementia prevention in Austria-Results of an exploratory study.
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundChanges in lifestyle could reduce dementia cases by 45%. Successful international prevention initiatives show the importance of involving primary target groups early in the process of program development.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to explore (1) the knowledge about dementia/brain health, (2) offers of activities related to dementia prevention in the community and (3) the feasibility of introducing the experience of art as a brain health-promoting method in a sample of community-dwelling older persons. MATERIAL AND
methodsSenior volunteers from the community were invited to a workshop and a follow-up telephone interview. During the workshop, participants received expert input on dementia/brain health followed by several group discussion rounds using a "World Café" approach. After 6 weeks, participants were invited to a structured telephone interview.
resultsA total of 26 persons participated in the workshop, 20 of whom (mean age: 70.60 years) took part in the telephone interview. The workshop data revealed 4 main needs: (1) more information on dementia/brain health (2) a broader offer of activities for physical/mental stimulation in the community (3) the definition of a "brain health strategy", and (4) development of specific services to experience art. The telephone interviews revealed a high motivation to start with dementia prevention but appropriate services are missing in the communities.
conclusionOur findings provide first insights into attitudes towards dementia prevention/brain health in an Austrian sample of senior citizens. People need information about the potential of dementia prevention and specific services need to be developed in the communities.
