Dementia and Cognitive Impairment in the Farming Community. A Preliminary Qualitative Study of Carers' Perceptions of Risks and Barriers to Care.
Article in The Australian journal of rural health, 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
objectiveTo explore the risks and barriers to care of informal carers of farmers living on-farm with dementia and cognitive impairment.
methodsSeven individual semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted between June and July 2025. Purposive sampling included carers to discuss their perceptions of caring for people with dementia living on farms.
designQualitative study, grounded theory with iterative thematic analysis.
settingRural Australia.
participantsInformal carers. MAIN OUTCOMES: Risks and barriers to care.
resultsSix themes were noted in the interviews: (1) Geographic isolation; (2) Physical hazards and farm responsibilities; (3) Interpersonal relationship conflict; (4) Inadequate government support; (5) Lack of local healthcare resourcing; and (6) Positive aspects of the farm environment. Participants discussed strategies for care, such as enlisting additional familial support. Some of these themes were unique to the farm context.
conclusionCarers of farmers with dementia highlighted a combination of risks and barriers to care that often interact synergistically with each other, leading to unmet needs for care. Carers highlighted a need for tailored solutions to care in the unique farm context. Integrating the farm environment with accessible assistance off farm appeared to be a strong desire among carers.
