The National Dementia Workforce Study: Perspective From the National Institute on Aging.
Article in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
As the population of individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) continues to grow, so does the need for a well-prepared and stable dementia care workforce. The National Dementia Workforce Study (NDWS) represents a significant investment to understand the demographics, experiences, and magnitude and scope of challenges faced by the professional and direct care workforce providing care to people with dementia. This article discusses the NDWS's goals, data collection efforts, and data release. NDWS is the first large-scale national survey of the dementia care workforce, encompassing physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, direct care workers, and other health professionals across four key care settings: community-based medical practices, nursing homes, assisted living communities, and home care. The study's innovative design allows for data linkage with Medicare claims and other health databases, providing a data infrastructure for understanding workforce factors that influence care quality and outcomes. The first datasets were released in July of 2025, and the data can be accessed at no cost. The linked NDWS-Medicare datasets are available through a secure web portal for analysis. Findings from this analysis can answer novel questions that may shape the future of the dementia care workforce in the United States, ensuring that the growing population of people with dementia receives high-quality care. As the study progresses, longitudinal results and annual data updates will continue to provide valuable insights, helping researchers, practitioners, and policymakers understand the workforce caring for people affected by dementia.
