Dementia stigma in the United States: variation by target gender, degree of impairment, and respondent characteristics.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands). 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
introductionThe rising prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) poses major public health concerns. Public knowledge about ADRD diverges from scientific consensus, and consequently, public stigma presents barriers to diagnosis and care.
methodThis study addresses ADRD stigma in the United States using the well-established vignette approach. A stratified quota sample of 1115 adults matching national demographics were randomly assigned to one of six vignettes. Symptoms of the vignette character mirrored the presentation of ADRD and were reviewed by geriatric neuropsychologists for accuracy.
resultsApart from small vignette effects, stigma was shaped by respondent characteristics. Higher stigma was predicted by less knowledge, being male, non-White race, and living in counties with higher ADRD prevalence. Surprisingly, personal contact showed no effect. DISCUSSION: Rehumanizing individuals with ADRD and enhancing ADRD knowledge should be public health priorities. Stigma reduction efforts need to address informational deficits and narratives that perpetuate negative perceptions.
