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
IntroductionThe global rise in dementia presents significant challenges for healthcare systems. While Alzheimer's disease (AD) dominates dementia care, people with non-Alzheimer's dementias (non-AD), such as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), vascular dementia (VD), and Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD), often have distinct and unmet healthcare needs.AimThis systematic review aimed to summarise evidence on healthcare utilisation (HCU) patterns and factors affecting care among people living with non-AD dementias.MethodsFollowing a PROSPERO-registered protocol (CRD42024568391), comprehensive searches of Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, Global Health, PsycINFO, and PubMed were conducted in February and June 2024. Peer-reviewed English-language studies reporting on HCU or its determinants in DLB, FTD, VD, or PDD were included. Reviews, case reports, grey literature, and studies without subtype-specific data were excluded. Quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.ResultsThirty-one studies (16 cohort; 10 cross-sectional, 4 case-description, and 1 chart review) were included. HCU varied by dementia subtype and was influenced by sociodemographic, cognitive, and clinical factors. Compared with AD, non-AD dementias had higher healthcare use and costs. PDD showed the highest inpatient, outpatient, and skilled nursing care use, driven by severe cognitive decline. DLB was linked to unplanned hospital admissions and frequent ambulance use, often due to falls and pneumonia. FTD resulted in extended hospital stays related to behavioural symptoms, while VD incurred high costs due to chronic comorbidities and long-term care needs.ConclusionPeople with non-AD dementias have greater and distinct healthcare needs. Future research should develop standardised measures and tailored interventions to address their complex socioeconomic and clinical requirements.
