Implementation of Telemedicine for Patients With Dementia and Their Caregivers: Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of medical Internet research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAs dementia advances, symptoms and associated concerns lead to significant distress for both the patients and their caregivers. Telemedicine has the capacity to alleviate care-related issues for patients with dementia and their family caregivers.
objectiveThis study aims to synthesize the implementation strategies for providing telemedicine to assist patients with dementia and their caregivers in home and community settings and to examine its effectiveness and implementation barriers.
methodsIn accordance with the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across 6 databases, including MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, and ProQuest. The eligibility criteria for peer-reviewed English publications from January 2000 up to January 2025 encompassed research studies related to telemedicine services for individuals diagnosed with dementia and caregivers.
resultsThis study included 54 articles, comprising 14,446 participants from 10 countries. In total, 4 major themes emerged from the articles: the design of telemedicine services, effectiveness of telemedicine, external environmental factors, and barriers in telemedicine implementation. Cognitive training was addressed in 28 studies. Within the domain of work and leisure, 24 solutions were identified. Most reviewed studies indicated favorable experiences with telemedicine services and highlighted perceived personal and social benefits among patients with dementia, as well as identified barriers to accessing and using such services.
conclusionsFuture studies should encompass the enhancement of digital accessibility for individuals with restricted resources and limited technological proficiency, the use of randomized controlled trial methodologies to ascertain the comparative efficacy of various service delivery modes, and the augmentation of sample diversity.
