Impact of national cognitive screening on dementia care and hospitalization in South Korea.

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
introductionDementia is a major public health concern, and cognitive screening may improve dementia management. We examined the impact of the 2007 introduction of a national cognitive screening program in South Korea on subsequent dementia care and hospitalization.
methodsA nationwide cohort of 76,640 dementia-free, policy-eligible adults aged 66 who underwent screening between 2004 and 2009 was used. Dementia care was defined as ≥1 dementia-related outpatient visit or anti-dementia medication within 2 years of screening and dementia-related hospitalization as post-screening hospitalization for dementia. Adjusted multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used.
resultsOverall, 1.4% received dementia care within 2 years, and 3.0% were hospitalized for dementia within 10 years. Cognitive screening was associated with a 37% higher likelihood of subsequent dementia care and a 12% lower risk of dementia-related hospitalization than those without screening. DISCUSSION: Cognitive screening may facilitate earlier dementia care and reduce the risk of dementia-related hospitalization.
