SAFER-Dem: generating co-designed adaptations to a discharge care planning bundle for people living with dementia.
Article in BMJ open, 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
objectivesTo gather insights from people living with dementia, unpaid carers and professionals to co-design and refine a dementia-inclusive adaptation of the SAFER-Mental Health discharge care bundle, SAFER-Dem, that addresses challenges in the discharge process from mental health inpatient settings. A secondary objective was to assess how stakeholders interact with and understand the revised materials, focusing on usability and the perceived effectiveness of the dementia-inclusive adaptations.
designQualitative co-design study involving sequential workshops and 'think-aloud' usability interviews, guided by participatory design and cognitive interviewing methods.
settingMental health inpatient settings in the UK.
participants17 stakeholders (nine people with lived experience as a person living with dementia or carer and eight healthcare professionals) took part in four co-design workshops. 12 additional stakeholders (four people living with dementia, four unpaid carers and four professionals) participated in 'think-aloud' interviews. Participants were recruited via NHS Trust networks, advisory groups and social media.
resultsParticipants highlighted widespread dissatisfaction with current discharge procedures, especially communication failures and environmental barriers. Changes to SAFER-Dem included simplified materials, flexible timing of delivery, realistic imagery and additional aids such as scenario cards and talking mats. Three main usability themes emerged: appropriateness, practical changes and usability.
conclusionsThe SAFER-Dem care bundle was well received by stakeholders, showing promise for improving discharge quality for people living with dementia. Participants identified areas for improvement to enhance accessibility and effectiveness. Findings suggest that with further evaluation, SAFER-Dem could become a valuable tool in supporting dementia-inclusive discharge practices. Research and co-design with people living with dementia have been instrumental in understanding experiences during discharge.
