Article in Dementia and neurocognitive disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Purpose: The quality of life (QoL) of individuals with dementia is influenced by their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), social engagement, and emotional well-being. Instrumental ADLs (IADLs) decline even in early stages, while basic ADLs (BADLs) are significantly affected in advanced stages. This study examined whether a home-based occupational therapy intervention improves QoL in people with dementia, reduces caregiver burden, depression, and anxiety, and enhances BADL performance. Methods: Forty-nine participants with moderate to severe dementia were assigned to an intervention group (n=26, mean age 83.5±5.0 years, t=2.63, Results: Significant improvements were observed in patients' QoL (QoL-AD, Conclusions: Home-based standardized occupational therapy interventions enhance the quality of life and emotional well-being of individuals with moderate to severe dementia and improve caregiver mental health, highlighting their crucial role in community dementia care.
