"I wasn't broken": Addressing stigma associated with dementia while Walking the Talk for Dementia.
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
introductionWalking the Talk for Dementia (WTD) convenes people from every continent and multiple perspectives, including people with lived experience, in a 40-km walk followed by a 2-day symposium. The aim is collective reflective dialogue about dementia stigma without the burden of professional hierarchies.
methodsQualitative reflections during and immediately following the walk were analyzed using content analysis to identify common themes.
resultsThree themes demonstrate an evolution of perspectives about dementia and stigma: "meeting the person not the label", "a community in solidarity", and "I wasn't treated like I was broken, and I wasn't broken." DISCUSSION: WTD created an environment where people felt safe to recognize and express their unconscious biases. Participants observed that limiting beliefs about people with dementia were universal, regardless of context. These experiences involved deep self-learning. Participants left the event with a deeper understanding of dementia-related stigma and its impacts.
