Patient Navigation Programs in Canada for People With Dementia, Their Caregivers and Care Providers: An Environmental Scan.
Article in Sage open aging. 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
As the rates of dementia continue to rise across Canada, accessing care remains a challenge for people living with dementia, their caregivers, and members of the care team. Patient navigation offers a promising approach to reducing these barriers and enhancing the integration of care for this population. Many such programs already exist in Canada. This scan identified 11 programs across six provinces, detailing their characteristics, implementation processes, facilitators, and barriers to their implementation. Findings highlight the importance of person-centered care, early access, effective collaboration, and adequate funding as key facilitators. In contrast, barriers included insufficient funding, insufficient capacity for collaboration, and system-level challenges, like "navigation to nowhere" and disruptions caused by COVID-19. By reporting on successful practices and areas for improvement, this scan aims to inform the development and implementation of effective dementia patient navigation programs.
