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

purposeTo further develop and begin to validate the Framework for Compassionate Use of Technology with Persons with Cognitive Decline and their Care Partners.

methodsWe used an experience-based co-design approach. Phase 1 involved interviews with participants with cognitive decline and their care partners to increase our understanding of their perceptions of home monitoring technology use. Phase 2 involved Focus group meetings with participants with cognitive decline, their care partners, healthcare providers and technology researchers to seek feedback on the framework and develop tools to support a compassionate approach to the use of home monitoring technology.

resultsDomains and categories identified during interviews were (a) Ethical Principles including Addressing Privacy Concerns, Considering Dignity, Balancing Risks with Benefits, and Supporting Autonomy; and (b) Usefulness and Preferences including Technology Utility, Need for Maintenance, and Preferences for Information Receipt. These findings along with focus group discussions aligned with and further elaborated the framework. Focus groups also informed the development of tools to support a compassionate approach to recommending and selecting home monitoring technology.

conclusionsThe study provides initial support for the framework. More research is needed to test applicability and the usefulness in practice settings.
