Are board games useful for people with dementia? A preliminary study for a non-pharmacological intervention.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: The diagnosis of dementia presents a serious public health concern and a challenge for the entire scientific community. Among the potential lines of intervention, board games can be considered a non-pharmacological strategy. This study aimed to explore the potential of board games as a group-based intervention to support cognitive stimulation and psychological well-being in people with dementia. Methods: This study included 36 older people diagnosed with dementia ( Results: The results showed that cognitive functions do not increase over time [ Discussion: The results of this study suggest that board games can be explored further as a non-pharmacological intervention for groups of older adults diagnosed with dementia, as favorable outcomes were observed in terms of cognition and well-being. Theoretical implications, research directions, and professional perspectives were also discussed.
