The Influence of Physical, Social, and Organizational Environments on Recreational Activities in Long-Term Care for Residents With Dementia: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThis scoping review explores how physical, social, and organizational factors influence recreational activity engagement for residents with dementia in long-term care settings.
methodsA literature search in AgeLine, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Medline, and Web of Science identified studies on environmental factors affecting recreational activities for long-term care residents with dementia. A narrative approach was used to collate and summarize the findings from peer-reviewed English studies available until June 30, 2024.
resultsA total of 28 studies were reviewed, examining how physical, social, and organizational factors-such as homelike ambiance, staffing levels, and medicalized care culture-affect residents' engagement in recreational activities. The review also highlights the interrelationship among these factors. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: The findings emphasize the importance of creating care environments that support activity participation. These insights can inform future assessments and the development of long-term care settings to improve activity experiences and outcomes for residents.
