Developing and Testing a Program to Strengthen the Dementia Palliative Care Trial Workforce.
Article in Journal of pain and symptom management, 2026. 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
objectiveTo describe the development and early outcomes of the National Institute on Aging (NIA)-funded Dementia Palliative Care Clinical Trials Training Program (DEM-PCCT).
backgroundNonpharmacological palliative care interventions can improve the lives of people living with dementia and their care partners, yet evidence remains limited. We developed DEM-PCCT to train investigators and enhance evidence-based dementia palliative care interventions. DEM-PCCT represents the first national program to integrate dementia-specific palliative care training with structured grant development, NIH stage model-based didactics, experiential trainings and longitudinal evaluation of scholar productivity-addressing a critical gap.
methodsDEM-PCCT is a ten-month program where scholars participate in monthly virtual sessions and a one-week in-person didactic and experiential program. The curriculum to supports participants' research grant development and submission. Participants evaluate curriculum components and report their confidence, comfort and knowledge with conducting dementia clinical trials pre- and post-training. We also track grant submissions, published manuscripts and feasibility outcomes.
resultsThree cohorts of interdisciplinary scholars (N = 53) have started and two have completed DEM-PCCT. Program feasibility and satisfaction were high. Confidence and comfort conducting dementia clinical trials significantly improved (P-value <0.05 for both). Most scholars submitted at least one research grant application by program completion, and secured funding. Scholars report continued productivity in grants and publications.
conclusionDEM-PCCT is a novel national training model that advances dementia palliative care by combining didactic training, experiential learning and structured grant development. Thus, DEM-PCCT builds the scientific workforce and serves as a model to accelerate evidence-based dementia palliative care interventions.
