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.

2 · The registry

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 study piloted and evaluated the feasibility of ARISE (Awareness Raising Interventions in Schools), a non-randomized training program designed to enhance teachers' knowledge and attitudes toward aging and dementia in two Brazilian public schools.

methodsA single-group pre-post design was used to assess changes in dementia knowledge and stigma-related beliefs among 62 teachers from two public schools and an adult literacy program in Brazil.

resultsDespite challenges related to workload and retention, the program was well-received by participants, who reported high satisfaction with both the content and structure. Quantitative data demonstrated significant improvements in attitudes toward aging and knowledge of dementia. No significant changes were found in attitudes toward dementia. DISCUSSION: This study supports the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed program in improving attitudes toward aging and increasing dementia knowledge in schoolteachers. Future efforts should prioritize flexible implementation and streamlined content to enhance engagement and scalability. Highlights: First teacher-focused training on aging and dementia in Brazil.Feasibility confirmed with high satisfaction despite workload challenges.Significant gains in dementia knowledge and attitudes toward aging.Qualitative data revealed motivators, barriers, and perceived impact.Scalable approach to reduce stigma and promote brain health literacy.
