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

Introduction: Riding in the Moment™ (RM) is a community-based, standardized, evidence-informed equine-assisted service program designed to support individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and their caregivers through social connection, physical activity, and meaningful engagement. Delivered by trained non-clinical personnel, RM's long-term success depends on effective implementation and sustainability in real-world settings. This project explored implementation strategies used to deliver RM, focusing on staff and volunteer preparedness and satisfaction. Methods: A repeated measures survey design that included closed-ended items and open-ended questions, guided by the RE-AIM framework, was used to explore implementation strategies. Pre-and post-implementation surveys assessed Results: Majority of the participants (95%; Discussion: This program evaluation project contributes to understanding early-stage implementation considerations for community-based dementia-specific programs in real-world settings. Continued evaluation is needed to determine how these factors influence long-term implementation, program sustainability, and scalability across broader settings.
