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

The literature on pain management for people with dementia in nursing homes places significant emphasis on the limitations dementia imposes on their ability to describe and express their pain. Little is known about how healthcare personnel can support and use the individual resources people with dementia have in pain management. Thus, this study aimed to explore pain management in people with dementia in nursing homes, focusing on the resources people with dementia have and how healthcare personnel can support and integrate these resources into their clinical practice. We applied an exploratory design with a focused ethnographic approach and collected data through participatory observations and field conversations, as well as notes from residents' medical charts. The study setting was a nursing home unit specializing in dementia care in a larger city in Norway. The study included residents with moderate- to severe stage dementia (
