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
introductionPerson-centred dementia care (PCdC) is widely recognised as a core principle of high-quality dementia care and is embedded in national and international dementia care guidelines. However, translating PCdC into routine practice in nursing homes (NHs) continues to pose a significant challenge. This reflects both the theoretical complexity of PCdC and the fact that its delivery relies less on discrete care techniques and more on an underlying organisational culture and shared approach to care. Implementing PCdC therefore requires an organisational perspective that acknowledges the interplay between staff, leadership and organisational conditions. Although several approaches exist to strengthen organisational capacity for PCdC, NHs often lack guidance on how to identify and apply approaches that fit their specific context. This study aims to develop a toolbox that supports NHs in systematically building the organisational capacity required to implement and sustain PCdC in their specific context. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The toolbox will be developed through three consecutive studies:Study 1: An exploratory qualitative study of the perspectives of managers and staff in NHs on organisational capacity building (OCB) for implementing and sustaining PCdC.Study 2: A co-design study involving workshops to develop a first version of the OCB toolbox, informed by insights from a preliminary scoping review (conducted separately and published as a protocol on Open Science Framework) and Study 1.Study 3: A qualitative consensus-building study using a nominal group technique with stakeholders and PCdC experts to refine and finalise the OCB toolbox (validation phase).The toolbox development is conceptualised as the development of a complex intervention and will therefore be informed by O'Cathain ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The Cantonal Ethics Committee Zurich confirmed that the study is exempt from formal ethical approval under the Swiss Human Research Act (Req-2025-00812). Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations and practice-oriented outputs, including a toolbox for NHs.
