Facilitating Supportive Care Decision-Making for Persons with Dementia: Qualitative Insights from Health Care Professionals.
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
Background: Persons living with dementia (PLWDs) and their care partners (CPs) often face decisions about future supportive care transitions. Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of healthcare professionals (HCPs) experienced in supporting PLWDs and CPs with transitions in care. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and coded using a hybrid deductive-inductive approach. We used thematic analysis to identify key themes regarding factors influencing supportive care decisions and planning and decision-making facilitators used by HCPs. Results: Qualitative analysis of 18 interviews revealed four themes: (1) difficulty thinking about the future; (2) increasing CP burden with disease progression; (3) uncertainty about costs and resources; and (4) the impact of cultural values. HCP strategies to support decision-making included building trust; timely education; and facilitating access to resources. HCP input suggested the importance of an accessible decision tool, sensitive to sociocultural values, and administered by trusted experts. Conclusion: We identified themes to inform development of a decision tool to support PLWDs and CPs supportive care transitions. HCPs highlighted the importance of early access to decision-making tools to facilitate dementia care planning and education.
