The dementia care workforce: Essential to care but large research gaps exist.
Review in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
People living with dementia and their care partners benefit from services and supports from a wide variety of healthcare and social service professionals. This article provides an overview of the dementia care workforce and highlights gaps and opportunities for data collection and research to advance the workforce and its contributions to high-quality care. The authors provide an analysis of literature, trends, research gaps, and research opportunities, drawing from the literature and their own research. There are notable gaps in our ability to track career pathways, assess the impact of training, identify best practices for recruitment and retention, and understand attributes of the workforce that may affect the quality of both workers' lives and the care they provide to people living with dementia. There are many opportunities for new research to help direct care workers meaningfully contribute to the health and well-being of people living with dementia and their care partners. HIGHLIGHTS: The dementia care workforce works in multiple settings and includes many occupations. There are gaps in knowledge regarding the workforce and its role in high-quality care. Evaluation research is needed to improve direct care worker recruitment, retention, and knowledge. Research on caregiving teams including direct care workers, other workers, and families is needed.
