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

Complex health and social care needs of people living in prison with diagnosed or suspected dementia is a growing concern for prisons and prison healthcare staff. The literature is replete with recommendations to better understand the health and social needs of this vulnerable population, to move beyond speculation towards actions to improve their health and well-being. Despite this, there is scant literature exploring the lived care experience of individuals being assessed for or diagnosed with dementia in prisons. The aim of this multi method qualitative study was to investigate how those with suspected dementia were identified, assessed and cared for in Scottish prisons. This article presents case study data from one phase of the larger study. Case studies were constructed from five semi-structured interviews with men with a diagnosed (
