Community-based survey of perceived stigma in dementia: Insights from a collectivist culture.
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. 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
introductionIn collectivist cultures, internalization of negative beliefs fosters stigma. This study aimed to assess the relationship between Alzheimer's disease (AD) knowledge and perceived stigma, focusing on sociodemographic variables; gender, marital status, occupation, and caregiving.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 529 participants without psychiatric or neurological disorders completed the AD knowledge scale, Affiliated Stigma Scale (ASS), and stigma survey.
resultsAge showed no significant association with dementia knowledge or stigma. Higher education, living with family/spouse, and being dementia caregiver predicted perceived stigma. Caregivers demonstrated higher knowledge; but similar stigma levels compared to non-caregivers which was significantly related to the ASS-affective component. Healthcare workers also had greater knowledge but did not differ in terms of stigma. DISCUSSION: Knowledge improved by education and caregiving, but stigma persisted, shaped by emotional and cultural dynamics. These findings suggest that future interventions may benefit from integrating empathy-focused and attitude-based modules, as knowledge alone is insufficient to reduce stigma.
