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

Caregiving for persons living with dementia has long been conceived as a series of tasks that sustain the body. Tasks such as these describe the work of caregiving for a person living with dementia, but they do not adequately define the practice of caregiving. The central premise of this essay is that caregiving is body care, but it is also mind care. In this article, we describe how mind care occurs within the caregiving dyad. Utilizing the extended mind thesis developed in the philosophical literature, we characterize the dyad as a kind of mental extension. We then suggest that mental extension may also be related to the support of the self and the moral person. We conclude by highlighting how this theory informs dementia care and policy.
