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

Background: Allied health professionals can contribute to better quality of life of people with dementia. However, it is unclear whether DementiaNet networks effectively integrate their expertise. We aim to describe the extent of allied health involvement in DementiaNet networks. Methods: Between 2015 and 2021, 35 currently active primary care networks were formed. During this period, logs of the network's composition were kept and used to describe allied health involvement. Results: Ten networks included at least one allied health professional at the start of the project, which increased to 17 networks at follow-up. Networks with allied health professionals were larger than average and predominantly situated in (sub)urban areas. Conclusion: Less than half of the DementiaNet networks included allied health professionals at follow-up. The reasons for this are unknown. Therefore, exploration of barriers and facilitators for allied health involvement is necessary to engage allied health professionals and improve interprofessional collaboration.
