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.

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.

Abstract

introductionProviding care management, treatment and support to patients with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) is a difficult task for health systems. Over the past 20 years, interventions designed to improve outcomes for patients living in the community with dementia and their care partners have moved progressively, but separately, from large scale trials and pragmatic models of collaborative care. Given the projected increase in the number of people living with dementia coupled with the realignment of payment for services to be value-based and provided in the community, system-level approaches are needed to address the complex needs of patients with a dementia diagnosis and their care partners. We designed a statewide, pragmatic trial to evaluate virtual delivery of an evidence-based dementia collaborative care program on patient healthcare utilization and medication use. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The Aging Brain Care Virtual (ABCV) program is a 12-month embedded, cluster randomized, usual care controlled trial designed to test the effectiveness of a virtual dementia collaborative care program in 24 Indiana University Health primary care clinics (12 intervention, 12 control) across the state of Indiana, enrolling 860 persons living with dementia (430 intervention, 430 control) and their care partners. ABCV relies on a tailored approach in which dyad needs are identified during virtual visits and addressed with standardized protocols previously tested in a randomized controlled trial delivered in person. The ABCV trial will measure emergency department utilization (primary outcome) and appropriate medication use (secondary outcome) at 12 months using electronic medical record data. Additionally, this study will use semi-structured interviews with care partners and clinicians to explore the implementation context, process and outcomes of the ABCV program. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval was obtained from the Indiana University Institutional Review Board (20249). Research findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06245499.
