1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimsTo explore stakeholders' perspectives on (1) the cultural and linguistic appropriateness of the Greek, Italian and Spanish versions of the iSupport for Dementia program and (2) strategies to implement the iSupport program in Australia.

methodsA qualitative descriptive study was applied. Data were collected from focus groups with family carers of people with dementia from Greek-, Italian- and Spanish-speaking backgrounds and bilingual and bicultural health and social care professionals in community aged care settings in Australia. The reflective thematic analysis method was used to identify themes from the data. The COREQ checklist for qualitative research was followed to report this study.

resultsWe found that stakeholders would like to see inclusive language used in the iSupport program to empower and engage carers in the program. They also suggested that the iSupport program should meet diverse learning needs and preferences for carers. They would like to see bilingual and bicultural staff deliver the iSupport program to carers and coach carers based on their individual needs. They suggested that the methods used in carer peer support should be socially inclusive in the digital age. In addition, they would like to see the iSupport program integrated into aged care services.

conclusionImplementing the iSupport for Dementia program in multiple languages that incorporates peer support and coaching activities for carers is an opportunity to address health inequalities for people with dementia and their carers from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Training and supporting bilingual and bicultural health and social care professionals is vital for embedding the iSupport program in aged care services.
